Fixing rclone Google Drive oauth issue

I though this was supposed to be happening in October, but I'm already getting errors about it.

• First off, I install to latest version of rclone, was a bit out of date
• I need to reauthenticate with Google remotely, as I'm using it on a server
  • Here's the relevant bit https://forum.rclone.org/t/google-oauth-migration-for-rclone/30545/6
• rclone listremotes to remember the name of my connection
• rclone config reconnect gsuite: to then do the config
  • y to refresh
  • N to auto config
• Turns out you need rclone available on a machine with a web browser then.
  • install it on my local box
  • run the authorize command it asked me to run
  • it gives me a code at the command line on my local box, i copy that code to the command line on remote box
• leave the other config alone

That seems to have sorted it! Great project, is rclone.

I had to do this again just now, but on my local desktop this time, not on a headless server.

So at the rclone config reconnect gsuite: stage, this time I needed to say 'N' to auto config. Otherwise I got the error:

Access blocked: Rclone’s request is invalid
