Description
If you want to select a folder to be the logical root of the remote then you have to enter a File Fabric file (folder) id. These are always integers. The prompt says it is a string:
ID of the root folder
Leave blank normally.
Fill in to make rclone start with directory of a given ID.
Enter a string value. Press Enter for the default ("1548927415").
root_folder_id>
A user might incorrectly think a folder path was needed here.
Entering the integer ID worked as expected, so there is no functional issue.
BTW, the File Fabric integration worked well for my requirements. Thanks very much.

Research direction
Locate the File Fabric configuration prompt that displays the root_folder_id value and inspect how its input type is described. Update the wording so it clearly requests the integer folder ID rather than a string or folder path, then verify the prompt text and default-value behavior.
