Just getting started with rclone and found rcloneview. I’m trying to back up approximately 600gb from a onedrive system to an external hard drive.
I have rcloneview up and running, have a remote for the onedrive. but the “local disk” window only shows the C drive for the laptop and the onedrive remote. It doesn’t show the USB key that is plugged in as “D”. Same happens with a USB hard drive that is plugged in.
Don’t see any way to add the USB key nor refresh the Local disk list of available sources.
Trying “+ Destination” only offers the local filesystem.
Have tried exiting rcloneview and restarting after plugging in the USB key, but no joy.
Rcloneview 1.5.10
Rclone 1.75.0
Windows 11 Laptop
Welcome, and thanks for the report — the version and OS details you included help a lot.
We’ve logged this internally and are looking into why the USB key and the USB hard drive don’t appear in the Local Disk list. The fact that restarting RcloneView with the drive already connected doesn’t change anything is the useful clue here, and that’s the part we’re checking first.
One thing that would help: at the same moment RcloneView doesn’t list it, does the drive show up normally in Windows Explorer with a D: letter?
As a possible way to keep your backup moving in the meantime, when you set the destination try selecting the local filesystem entry and then navigating or typing the path directly (D:\) instead of relying on the drive list. Let us know whether that works for you.
We’ll update this thread as we learn more.
The USB Key does show up in File Explorer as the D: drive, and I can access it via file explorer
As far as trying to type in the D:\ directly, I don’t see anywhere that I can do that.
If I try to create a new remote using local file system, the only editable field is the Remote Name. Advanced options has a ton of things, but don’t see anywhere to enter a path.
If I try to create a copy job, Source and destination are only pickable via the folder icon, there is no data entry field that I can find. using the “+ add destination” field brings me back to the Remote setup panel.
Please try accessing your USB drive using the “Alias” remote type.
Once added, open it by clicking the + button in the Explorer tree tab.
Ok, that worked. The USB Key showed up and I was able to use it as a destination for a copy from OneDrive to the key.
Previous to this, I did apply the 1.5.19 upgrade that was just released (FYI)
In my test above, I used the OneDrive store that was available in the Local Disk window on the left. That worked as I mentioned, but I did notice that during the copy to the USB Key, it was first downloading the source to the local hard drive and then copying it to the USB Key. In retrospect, I assume that was by design, since I used the OneDrive from the LocalDisk.
I tried creating a new remote for my OneDrive, but it gets through the “Config file has changed, RCloneView has to restart” and then it just locks up with a spinning blue circle.
After I kill RCloneView via TaskManager, and restart. I saw the OneDrive remote I created but the file list was empty. I tried using the CLI to modify/refresh the remote and get the following error during the edit process:
Failed to query available drives: HTTP error 403
I did refresh the key and generally accepted the defaults through the process. Did I miss something?
FYI - The branch out to the Browser to validate the credentials succeeded in both instances.
