What is the problem you are having with rclone?
I have Google Drive mounted on a linux server through rclone. The cache is set to use up to 100 GB of storage and expire after 200 hours. The problem is the cache usage is always under 20-25G and cache files seem to only be as old as 4-5 days. Changes to the drive are ONLY made through this server and not externally/remotely.
I want to maximise the amount of time the files and attributes are cached locally and to minimise the amount of API requests made. I don't want to minimise API requests because of their limits - I have a custom API limit by Google and it is more than enough. I want to lower the number of API requests made during read requests to speed it up. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong so if anyone could provide some insight I would be grateful.
