Google in their infinite wisdom decided that allowing some systems to upload to their drives was a se-
curity risk – so they closed a ‘loophole’. This meant that MotionEyeOS could not upload directly.
So, I had to find another way to get the files from the Raspberry Pis up to Google Drive where I could
view them from anywhere.

I used another PI to map to the folders on each of the 3 PIs taking the pictures via MotionEyeOS and
then I used Rclone to copy the files up to Google Drive.

RClone is a great utility, but I found that setting it up was a not the easiest process.
