Do you have rclone command installed on your desktop anywhere? Whilst running Rclone using Termux on Android might be suficient we've never tried that.

Can you let me know how did you generate your config?

Can you let me know how did you generate your config?

I just used a code editor application, after exporting the configuration from rclone, I edited the file name to json and changed some of the config a little...

I'm sure that's not the right way, but that's all I know

Maybe later I'll just send a video so you can see where I went wrong

As you can see it's all not exactly user friendly, soon you will be able to login using your username/password, but currently the setup through Rclone is required... and this is little bit fragile. In principle you need to configure Google Drive on your desktop in a way that if you type: rclone ls driveName: shall give you some files in the listing. Alternatively you can use about command, e.g.: rclone about driveName: and you should get e.g.:

Total:   7 GiB
Used:    611.346 MiB
Free:    6.403 GiB

If you're not getting these results, STOP and try setting back-end again using: rclone config as mentioned here: https://docs.s3drive.app/setup/import_rclone/ If things are working good for you at this stage, then use: rclone config dump command in order to extract all configs, then manually select, copy and paste the relevant Google Drive config into S3Drive (click new "+" and import).
