- Permission denied: Run CLI commands as the user owning the local directory, or adjust
chmod/chown. - SELinux/AppArmor blocks: Temporarily disable enforcement or add policy exceptions for mount points.
- Network timeouts: Check corporate firewall allow relevant endpoints and ports (HTTPS 443).
- Mount not accessible: Use FUSE group membership:
sudo usermod -aG fuse USERand re-login.
