rclone authorize

Remote authorization.

Synopsis

Remote authorization. Used to authorize a remote or headless rclone from a machine with a browser. Use as instructed by rclone config. See also the remote setup documentation.

The command requires 1-3 arguments:

• Name of a backend (e.g. "drive", "s3")
• Either a base64 encoded JSON blob obtained from a previous rclone config session
• Or a client_id and client_secret pair obtained from the remote service

Use --auth-no-open-browser to prevent rclone to open auth link in default browser automatically.

Use --template to generate HTML output via a custom Go template. If a blank string is provided as an argument to this flag, the default template is used.

rclone authorize <backendname> [base64_json_blob | client_id client_secret] [flags]
