Google drive mounted in Windows/Linux

Yeah, well, I just dumped 23TB of material, cancelled my gsuite subscription and upgraded my Gmail account to 2TB.

Guess I'm on the market for a couple of 16tb hardrives.

Hell man, what a ballache!

That was a drastic move... You didn't wanted give OneDrive Dev sub a try?

Starting a fresh for now. Think I'm going the hardrive route.

On a side note, how would one reverse the gmount process, rclone etc? IE how to uninstall or revert those settings/app?

@cavedog Maybe when you got a chance you can post a tutorial? It might be obvious, but not for me...

you can just remove the service with nssm.exe

in cmd prompt just type nssm remove mountname where mountname = what you called the service. Maybe it was gdrive

Uninstall winfsp if you don't want to mount anything rclone anymore.

Might be worth it to use the rclone fork for realdebrid.
 
Going the physical NAS route is an interesting one. I've got some old 8tb disks which will do for now, but I'm probably not going to RAID them in any way. Which will be fine, I'm sure. Right? Right?!

RAID0 :)

Interesting that people are going locally hosted considering the issue we face with Loadshedding

Loadshedding = no power - cloud needs to be reachable and you need power locally to access it, as well as run anything locally to be able to use it. So for many a moot point.

I got a couple of people on my server so for me hosting locally is a bit of a problem but lucky for me I do not get loadshedding.

You're perfectly correct, it is a problem I wanted to avoid, but I've got an inverter that I can throw at it.
I'd take an availability knock over paying the high price of cloud, plus I know I'm not going to rug-pull myself at some point at least.

The brain teaser is wondering if I'll continue to use the compute side of my stack in OCI, but keep my storage at home. So, mount stuff via NFS over WG, or something even uglier. I feel dirty thinking about the terrible things I'll likely come up with.
 
Also, I've been thinking more super long term about more permanent archive for the most important stuff. Docs and pics that would not be replaceable.
I've got multiple copies of the important stuff in Drive, Dropbox, NAS, etc, but its still in the hands of those I shouldn't always trust the most, or in my crappy DIY NAS.

I discovered M-DISC which seems to be a more serious Bluray type disk, up to100 GB BDXL.
"M-DISC passed the testing standards of both ISO/IEC 10995:2011 & ECMA-379 with a projected rated lifespan of several hundred years in archival use.
The glassy carbon layers, in theory if preserved correctly in an environment like a salt mine, could store the data for over 10,000 years before going outside of readable spec."

Which is like, longer than my lifetime. I'm likely going to find a bluray writer for my PC, and keep one or two USB ones around as a long term way to read them, and the idea is that these will be copies of family stuff and whatever else that will outlive me.

Its a little crazy expensive and the only decent source seems to be Amazon, with no one locally selling it from what I can see.
 
I caught my email this morning, but it had a link to the support centre to request a quota increase. Filed a case, an hour later I now have 250TB allocated to my enterprise plan, so I guess just contact Google to bump your quota if you have more than 1 user
 
Also received the dreaded email. luckily i had a 60 days head start, so have filled it daily to the brim.
Plan B should technically only be needed in ~2 years.

My setup is pretty simple.

Oracle VPS. You can get it for free at https://www.oracle.com/cloud/free/

You get 200GB storage, 4Gbps with 12TB egress which is currently not enforced so unlimited for now, 4 ACPU's which is the Arm based processors and 24GB of RAM. I'm not even mentioning the other instances you can get for free because it's trash compared to the Arm instance when all the apps and software supports Arm anyways.

Once you have it fire up swiziin install with the one line command. Select which apps you need.

nginx, panel, ffmpeg, plex or jellyfin and other apps you might like like rclone, sonarr, radarr, prowlarr etc. I also run rdtclient. https://github.com/rogerfar/rdt-client

It allows you to use Real Debrid instead of using torrents. Really cool because most stuff is cahced anyways so you can hit that 4Gbps (439MB/s) download speed and with an rclone mount using the vfs cache flags to control the cache it uploads to gdrive very fast too. Not sure about ZA because it's been slowish but new content release in off peak times anyways so should be good to go.

I am planning on starting a real debrid server, I am not 100% sure I understand, is the "stuff" cached on the realdbrid server or do I need to upload to google drive?

All cached on real-debrid so it's not saved on your cloud account or locally. You stream from content that is already cached.

This obviously comes at a risk if Realdebrid wants to delete stuff or it goes uncached it needs to be cached again and if it's a torrent that is dead it might not be cached again but at least it works really well.
