STOP and READ USE THIS TEMPLATE NO EXCEPTIONS -

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

same config on two vps , one i have normal speed and one have bad performance

Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.

rclone v1.62.2

• os/version: centos 7.9.2009 (64 bit)
• os/kernel: 3.10.0-1160.90.1.el7.x86_64 (x86_64)
• os/type: linux
• os/arch: amd64
• go/version: go1.20.2
• go/linking: static
• go/tags: none

Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)

Dropbox

The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)

/usr/bin/rclone mount \
        --config=/root/.config/rclone/rclone.conf \
        --allow-other \
        --cache-tmp-upload-path=/tmp/rclone/upload \
        --cache-chunk-path=/tmp/rclone/chunks \
        --cache-dir=/tmp/rclone/vfs \
        --cache-db-path=/tmp/rclone/db \
        --no-modtime \
        --stats=0 \
        --tpslimit 5 \
        --vfs-cache-mode=minimal \
        --dir-cache-time=60m \
        --cache-info-age=60m dropbox-vm40:bck /mnt/dropbox-vm40

The rclone config contents with secrets removed.

[dropbox-vm40]
type = dropbox
client_id = my_client_id
client_secret =  my_secret
token = m_token

i create client id and client secret on dropbox api

A log from the command with the -vv flag

nothing log , all works fine.
i upload every night backup of VPS (large files)
but same exactly config on two VPS and i have 2 different performance
1 . (netcup) and i can upload 10/12 mb/s (100mbps)
2. (hetzner) and i can upload 120/140kb/s (1mbps)
i think hetzner is better than netcup so i can't explain how this happen

i search on forum and try add on rclone mount
--dropbox-chunk-size=128M
and try to delete
--tpslimit 5
but nothing change...

Where am I doing wrong?

thank you in advance

hi,
it is recommended to create a dropbox app per rclone remote.
to create a remote for each vps, not share.
check out https://github.com/animosity22/homescripts#dropbox
and for a well tested mount command
https://github.com/animosity22/homescripts/blob/master/systemd/rclone-tv.service

remove these flags, as they are for the deprecated cache remote, which you are not using.

--cache-tmp-upload-path=/tmp/rclone/upload \
--cache-chunk-path=/tmp/rclone/chunks \
--cache-db-path=/tmp/rclone/db \
--cache-info-age=60m

and need to use a rclone debug log file, to looks for errors and problems.

(hetzner) and i can upload 120/140kb/s (1mbps)

Check this please

Very Slow Upload to Dropbox Remote

Surely drag and drop is essentially the same API command? I tried attaching a random user-agent to the request with no difference in speed =(

sorry for asking...
but i never imagined it was a bandwidth issue (hetzner or dropbox limitation)...

yesterday i try with (thanks @asdffdsa)

/usr/bin/rclone mount \
        --config=/root/.config/rclone/rclone.conf \
        --allow-other \
        --cache-dir=/tmp/rclone/vfs \
        --no-modtime \
        --stats=0 \
        --dropbox-chunk-size=128M \
        --vfs-cache-mode=full \
        --vfs-cache-max-size 10G \
        --vfs-write-back 1h \
        --dir-cache-time=60m \
        --log-level INFO --log-file /tmp/rclone/logs/dropbox-rclone.log \
        --dir-cache-time 9999h \
        --vfs-cache-max-age 9999h \
        --tpslimit 12 --tpslimit-burst 0 \
        dropbox:bck /mnt/dropbox

i limit cache max size because m server have a small disk
but without success...
now try suggestion from other tthread
thank you

[ale82x]

i read other thread and suppose is ipv6 related, because now seems working with this config

/usr/bin/rclone mount \
        --config=/root/.config/rclone/rclone.conf \
        --allow-other \
        --cache-dir=/tmp/rclone/vfs \
        --no-modtime \
        --stats=0 \
        --dropbox-chunk-size=128M \
        --vfs-cache-mode=minimal \
        --vfs-cache-max-size 10G \
        --vfs-write-back 1h \
        --dir-cache-time=60m \
        --log-level INFO --log-file /tmp/rclone/logs/dropbox-rclone.log \
        --dir-cache-time 9999h \
        --vfs-cache-max-age 9999h \
        --bind xx.xx.xx.xx \
        --tpslimit 12 --tpslimit-burst 0 \
        dropbox:bck /mnt/dropbox

now i can upload at 100mbit

thank you
