I'm running a Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS public server. I'm attempting to install Rclone to back up a folder to my Google Drive. I'm using the notes from where I did this before but I cannot get it to work this time.
I've installed Rclone and then ran the rclone config to set it up with Google.
Here is what I was prompted with:

If I enter in my own credentials or use the default, I'm getting the same error:
What I've tried:
- Enter in an api key AND using the default.
- Restarted the server.
- Recreated the credentials.
When I ran these steps previously, it was from Ubuntu 22.04 Workstation and I was able to authenticate the api through the browser. I'm not able to do that this time on a headless server.
Anyone have any suggestions?
