hello all
i am trying to use the rclone addon to sync a google drive folder to an HA folder (one way sync gdrive => Ha). this is not a backup of HA into gdrive (which is working for me via the regular Ha backup system) but the other way around
i was following the instructions in
and also this forum post:
i defined client id in my google cloud project settings
my rclone.conf file in HA:
[gdrive]
type = drive
client_id = <###>.apps.googleusercontent.com
scope = drive.readonly
im getting an error on rclone saying im missing a token but cant seem to find what to enter there, the addon config doc does not say how to to get this (in google cloud settings i generated client id and made its project “production”, but i didnt see if token is generated from there or something generated from rclone addon client)
this is the error im getting in rclone

any idea how to debug this?
