          > Hi, I got these when using a Apple ID (cn) 

NOTICE: Fatal error: HTTP error 302 (302 Found) returned body: "{\"domainToUse\":\"iCloud.com.cn\"}"

Same problem when using the v1.69.1 version, try to update the url by adding ".cn" in each url in the file with "https://github.com/rclone/rclone/blob/master/backend/iclouddrive/api/client.go", ''' const ( baseEndpoint = "https://www.icloud.com" homeEndpoint = "https://www.icloud.com" setupEndpoint = "https://setup.icloud.com/setup/ws/1" authEndpoint = "https://idmsa.apple.com/appleauth/auth" ) ''', However, the go build command didn't go well, as it needs to download massive package from internet, and my connection is unstable. Can someone could fix it. Thank you very much

@wcumsjy I updated all the urls to .cn ones. I don't know if it will work - please report back!

@ncw Dear Nick, thank you very much for your timely feedback and for quickly compiling the new version. However, I regret to inform you that my computer has an x86 architecture and cannot execute the arm64 version. I was wondering if you have an x86 version available? If so, I can try testing it immediately. “rclone v1.69.1

• os/kernel: 6.8.0-53-generic (x86_64)

• go/tags: none ”

@ncw Dear Nick, I confirmed that I can connect and mount the iCloud to my Unbuntu through this version with my China iCloud account! BIG THANKS TO YOU!!!

failed with 1 errors and: corrupted on transfer: sizes differ src() 10679453 vs dst(Local file system at /Users/admin/Downloads) 10501687 rclone was able to list the file but got the wrong file size.

We probably need @lostb1t to do this properly, but I thought it would be interesting to do an experiment to see if changing the URLs was enough or not.

@BingoKingo what kind of file was that? Do any fillers transfer ok?

[BingoKingo]

rclone works fine with most files. This issue can be closed.

It's a new problem with iWork files generated or modified by iWork Web and it can be reproduced on iCloud backend. Just create any file through iWork Web, and then download it using rclone.

Is that with the patched rclone with the .cn domain names I linked above?

Yes, .cn domain patch works well.

Great. I'll re-open this as we need to merge the fix (and likely do it a bit better!)

rclone ls is working well, no error for me

Maybe simply add a CN option in config?

If everyone is busy, maybe I can try to write a PR

[Kbstsn]

太好了。我会重新打开这个，因为我们需要合并修复程序（而且可能会做得更好！）

Oh, I really need this feature now.

When will this feature be merged into master?

[chuxubank]

Is it possible to add a configuration item for users to set the address of iCloud?

[powerLambda]

please help to merge this patch, thanks

[ncw]

If that patch worked (I have no way of testing) then someone needs to turn it into a config option. So maybe a region which could be global or china and that should change the 4 URLS in use. These will need to be variables instead of const like they are at the moment.

I don't think it would be too hard if someone wants to have a go.
