It’s simply an Index Error. The port number you provided is wrong. It should be locahost://127.0.0.1 or something of the nature.

Well what I recommend is that you use rclone notebook from scratch, check my post on mega-to-gdrive and use the first few steps to set it up yourself

For your case the problem seems to be the fact that you are trying to use autoconfig of gdrive remote on colab which isnt possible
