Hi, Are you using crypt? If so, is that V1 or V2? What's the output of: rclone ls cf-secret:personal or rclone ls cf-secret, does it return anything? How did you configure S3Drive storage in Rclone, have you used S3 API key generated from the S3Drive client?

I don't know which version of crypt I have, can you help me discover? rclone ls cf-secret:personal gives empty output rclone ls cf-secret: 2026/04/22 11:56:48 NOTICE: 042l-nql434DyZiFVwzSsw/1o8_r1J_H4wa_zJsXG7cmvNy19J2oZ1iCRZjJAKD7ppSxv41SEbeiHe0gNDBh2Kq: Skipping undecryptable file name: not an encrypted file - does not match suffix 2026/04/22 11:56:48 NOTICE: 042l-nql434DyZiFVwzSsw/1oUkmoD8-QhSw-pJfdswN-3qckXxHwiNf56bAarLsmgp3uui9PEd3_s8DGia7ptW: Skipping undecryptable file name: not an encrypted file - does not match suffix a much more

What's cf ? Is that Cloudflare or S3Drive?

cloudflare

s3drive is also configured with cloudflare as the backend

s3drive is also configured with cloudflare as the backend

... so it works through S3Drive, but you also want it to work using Rclone CLI? Is that correct?

I have a remote I need to mount on a vm which only has access to rclone. This remote is also configured in s3 drive. Both of them are backed by cloudflare r2 bucket

does it make sense?

Yes. In a most recent S3Drive version (not yet released), there will be an option to export Rclone .ini config for S3 configured credentials, but before then you can try mimick config as per attached screenshot or as per our guide: https://docs.s3drive.app/advanced/#sample If you need V2 cipher support (enabled in S3Drive by default) you would need to build Rclone yourself: https://docs.s3drive.app/advanced/v2support/ however based on your error messages it seems that you didn't get to that point just yet. It seems that your crypt config misses at least this:

filename_encoding = base64
filename_encryption = standard
directory_name_encryption = true
suffix = none

You need Rclone with V2 support as per our guide: https://docs.s3drive.app/advanced/v2support/ We've open-sourced it https://github.com/rclone/rclone/issues/7192 but they're awaiting maintainer's response at the moment. What's your OS? If you have problem building it, we're more than happy to help out.
