See the remote setup docs for how to set it up on a machine with no Internet browser available.

Rclone runs a webserver on your local computer to collect the authorization token from Zoho Workdrive. This is only from the moment your browser is opened until the token is returned. The webserver runs on http://127.0.0.1:53682/. If local port 53682 is protected by a firewall you may need to temporarily unblock the firewall to complete authorization.

Once configured you can then use rclone like this,

See top level directories

rclone lsd remote:

Make a new directory

rclone mkdir remote:directory

List the contents of a directory

rclone ls remote:directory

Sync /home/local/directory to the remote path, deleting any excess files in the path.

rclone sync --interactive /home/local/directory remote:directory

Zoho paths may be as deep as required, eg remote:directory/subdirectory.

Modified time

Modified times are currently not supported for Zoho Workdrive

Checksums

No checksums are supported.

Usage information

To view your current quota you can use the rclone about remote: command which will display your current usage.

Restricted filename characters

Only control characters and invalid UTF-8 are replaced. In addition most Unicode full-width characters are not supported at all and will be removed from filenames during upload.

Setting up your own client_id

For Zoho we advise you to set up your own client_id. To do so you have to complete the following steps.

Log in to the Zoho API Console
Create a new client of type "Server-based Application". The name and website don't matter, but you must add the redirect URL http://localhost:53682/.
Once the client is created, you can go to the settings tab and enable it in other regions.

The client id and client secret can now be used with rclone.
