Good morning, I want to use rclone to use onedrive and I think I have installed rclone correctly but when I type config and go thru the steps int never asks me what type I want (personal etc). Maybe rclone isn't installed correctly? It just goes to auto config. Thanks, Mike

Have you followed the walkthrough on rclone.org?

yes here is the result

I have tried this numerous times and obviously I'm doing something wrong or missing a step somewhere. I was using a post from ifoss that seemed basically the same. Thanks, Mike

These bits too?

How do I unblock it

Checked your router?

At the risk of sounding not to smart, what/how would I check my router for. As of now I have been just signing into my microsoft/onedrive acct to find whatever I need. My biggest problem was a file just over 5mb so it would not download unless I went to the app, whatever that means, so I went into it on my windows computer and got rid of some stuff so it was just under 5mb. What about other cloud storages (https://www.ubuntupit.com/best-cloud...r-linux-nerds/). Over the years I have learned to hate Microsoft Windows and car dealerships for a lot of reasons, they always try to find a way to screw you unless you just keep giving them more and more $$$. Thanks, Mike

Rclone only syncs one way, from the source (first listed) to the destination (second listed). It's not what most people think of as syncing. If you want a full sync, you have to do it twice, and reverse the source and destination the second time. Think closely about which you want to have synced first. Also, it doesn't run full time, you have to manually run it, or use a cron job. I have used it for Google Drive, Dropbox, and local syncing instead of rsync, for which it is a front-end with enhancements. It works well, but it's not the same as the commercial syncing software from the vendors. I'm now using rclone only for local backups because there is software available with more features.

Size should not matter. I don't know what you mean by "went to the app". Are you using rclone? Are you using your onedrive account as the source? You don't provide enough information to begin to troubleshoot your problem, whatever it is.
