Hello,
trying to sync VM backup files to MS OneDrive through rclone, but errors. See log below.
Additional info:
1) rclone seems to be properly configured, creating folders into /mnt area immediately sync them to oneDrive
2) backups to another cloud storage (Google Drive) through another rclone syncPoint perfectly work (same datacenter, same VMs)
Any help is really appreciated.

Thanks oin advance

Seems more of an issue with the onedrive client you are using, as it fails to close the file on the one drive mount point. Since there is no official client as far as I could find online, how did you mount the onedrive?

Hi Chris, mounted through rclone configuration. two endpoints, one for 1Drive and one for GoogleDrive. 1st doesn't work, 2nd works. stragne thing is that if I manually create a folder in the PMX alias (pointing to mounted endpoint "/mnt/OneDrive/ProxmoxBackups") the folder is synced to onedrive... issue is related to files creation

Here below rclone config

many thanks for your help

Could be a permission problem? as which user did you write the files manually? Maybe also ask in the rclone forum https://forum.rclone.org/ I unfortunately do not have a One Drive to test with
