This service will use the same remote name you specified when using rclone config create
. If you haven't done that yet, do so now.
Next, create the mountpoint for your remote. The service uses the location ~/mnt/<remote>
by default.
mkdir ~/mnt/dropbox
The --allow-other
option is required in order to work in many desktop environments. This flag must be enabled by adding user_allow_other
to /etc/fuse.conf
. If you aren't using a desktop environment, such as on a server, this option can be omitted.
Save the rclone@.service
file in ~/.config/systemd/user/
Make sure you include the @
. This is required to work.
As your normal user, run:
systemctl --user daemon-reload
You can now start/enable each remote by using rclone@<remote>
systemctl --user enable --now rclone@dropbox
Have you found anything at all that can help with this? Dolphin treats any rclone mounts as a local filesystem which makes dolphin unusable with dolphin. I have been searching for any solution for a few years. If you search there are other users who have opened bug reports and feature requests but nothing positive have come of it. Apparently the issue is with the KIO subsystem which dolphin uses so there isn't really anything the use can do to improve the situation.
