Rclone add-on configuration

Third party integrations
1

Hello,

It is my first ever post, so please be indulgent on how I asked the question :wink:

I recently discovered Rclone (GitHub - jcwillox/hassio-rclone-backup: Home Assistant addon to automatically sync backups to remote locations using Rclone) in trying to save my security camera recordings (from Frigate) to a cloud service (onedrive or google drive).

I installed the add-on and I’m trying to set it up. I created the rclone.conf file and the GUI starts properly.

But I can’t set up a new remote, I think that the add-on has no internet access to get the google token. What am I missing here?

Did you solve it? I have exactly the same issue.

Hello, yes I found a way but not with Rclone. I took another route, I’m using the onedrive backup addon and the file sync option which has been working well for my use case

Hello. I got the same issue.

I solved it by:

1 - install rclone on my pc.
2 - on the command line “rclone config” and created there a new conecction.
3 - on the command line “rclone config show” and copied the output to the rclone.conf (create it if it does not yet exists) file in the config folder of home assistant.

you can repeat this proces to add more remote connections.

For other users: This is also the solution for fixing crashing of the RClone addon at startup, after the first installation of the addon.

Thanks for that, it worked for me.

Another question: Is there any way to use this addon to check a remote (google drive) folder for contents? I just want to know if there are file, or not.

(Purpose: If there are files, I’d like to start my computer at home via wake on lan to sync with google drive. If someone has another idea for this I’d be happy to get a hint.)
