Google drive mounted in Windows/Linux

Are you running it on a separate home server/pc?

you can have a look at them: https://github.com/PlexGuide/PlexGuide.com/wiki

But basically it uses google drive, rclone (with mongo db), all in docker containers. With great added support for torrents, usenet, plex, jellyfin, emby, etc... Check them out, they also support the encrypt feature off rclone so google/microsoft doesnt see your data.
 
Much appreciated I will read up.

currently, I have 2TB physical disk and a 100GB SSD (plex sits on SSD) Linux ISOs sits on 2TB disk

^1 physical PC

I suppose with this I can instead spin up a VPS and load plex on there, mount rclone via linux...
 
Wish MFN or cool ideas stored data usage :P

My usage the lat few months have been 10tb+. The only drawback from the plexdrive thing is it only runs on Linux, but its really nice you can automate many of the tasks and it has great community support. You dont really need to have allot of knowledge on the docker or traefik (reverse proxy). If you do go this route I'd recommend cloudflare above godaddy just because it its allot easier to setup the ssl/https.
 
Mmmm, I copied from the internet to the onedrive mounted disk - however, my C drive ran out of space in the process...?

Yeah, so the normal process caches on the C drive, you can bypass this using the rclone browser or in cmd.

I see - how long / big is the cache (wiped out 5GB on the C drive, it being a small SSD, 5GB = valuable real estate)

wont the constant cashe read writes on your ssd wear down the flash memory?

That is what I am afraid off.

@cavedog can one disable cache? (is it needed in this content?)

mount --allow-other --dir-cache-time 72h --drive-chunk-size 64M --log-level INFO --vfs-read-chunk-size 32M --vfs-read-chunk-size-limit off onedrive: Y: --config "C:\Users\xxx\.config\rclone\rclone.conf" --vfs-cache-mode writes
 
maybe keep the cashe in RAM disk or risk eating your SSD endurance in a week or move it to a mechanical disk/USB throwaway

i bought a cheapy 128gig from cna during the sale 75% off i think would work well for this since its usb 3.1 gen 1
 
Anyway cache can be limited to 3GB and use RAM instead of C drive?
 
could install the mount on the usb and use powershell or batch to automount the drive to google when the usb is plugged in automatically

then can move usb around and have instant access to my google files on any pc with internet
 
I'd like to push cache to

D:/cache

and I'd like to limit it to 5GB
 
Alright this appears to work.


mount --log-file "C:\rclone\logs\rclone.log" --log-level INFO --allow-non-empty --allow-other --fuse-flag sync_read --tpslimit 10 --tpslimit-burst 10 --dir-cache-time=160h --buffer-size=64M --attr-timeout=1s --vfs-read-chunk-size=2M --vfs-read-chunk-size-limit=2G --vfs-cache-max-age=5m --vfs-cache-mode=writes --cache-dir "E:\rclone_cache" onedrive: Y: --config "C:\Users\xxx\.config\rclone\rclone.conf"
 
Need to do this myself still , please be careful of gdrive team drives advertised on Ebay, bought 1 a long time ago just for test and it disappeared after a few months, rather subscribe to gsuite

Yeah same. Also one that had more than 100TB of stuff on Google wiped out the data on it.

It's fine you rather pay your own gsuite account and only have access yourself or a trusted partner but turn external sharing off.
