[SOLVED] New API key from new computer and existing buckets

Hello,

Today I’ve created and installed a new API key for storj for a new computer. I have set up rclone to use storj (using “rclone config”).
Then I tried to test my storj settings on this fresh install.

I can see all my existing storj buckets but nothing else. I can mount all my existing buckets on the filesystem with “rclone mount”. But all those mount points are seen empty, even if none of those buckets are empty.

What did I miss in my setup?

Thanks.
Richard

That is the behavior when you have got the wrong encryption key. None of the existing paths can be decrypted, so they are not shown.

The encryption key is derived from the passphrase you used for the api key. The passphrase has to match the passphrase you used earlier.

Thank you for your reply ; it solved my problem.

I found this in the documentation that helped:
" Importantly, if you want two access grants to have access to the same data, they must use the same passphrase . You won’t be able to access your data if the passphrase in your access grant is different than the passphrase you uploaded the data with."
