And how you upload them?

Just regular. Drag and dropping from my C: to Google drive.

The first half files i was uploading had no problems. But the rest not appearing and are uploaded to C:\Users\xxxx\AppData\Local\rclone\vfs

5

As long as your mount is running they are uploaded in the background. Depending on their size and internet speed it can take some time.

Thank you for your time. I will upload them and check back later.
If they aren't appearing, im coming back <3 :slight_smile:

Ok. Make sure your mount is mounted all the time.

It is indeed not very convenient still - there is no clear indicator of uploads activity and status. There are some ideas how to change it:

but it is still work in progress.

I just got this error:

vfs cache: failed to upload try #1, will retry in 10s: vfs cache: failed to transfer file from cache to remote: googleapi: Error 403: User rate limit exceeded., userRateLimitExceeded

But my folder completed the upload

This is Google complaining:) That you are uploading to many things... Google throttles a lot unfortunately.

You should for the start create your own client_id. And then recreate your remote.

Here simplified way:

Thank you, and for the time. I will try it out :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

12

to see what rclone is doing, which files are uplpading and how many files are in the cache,
use -vv or -v

to learn more about the rclone's two vfs cache, check out my
summary of vfs caches

Thanks! A progress without a log to see what happend stresssssing me out!
Everything seems good now and i seing my uploads! I love you guys :heart_eyes:

14

can also log to a file
--log-level=DEBUG --log-file=%HOMEPATH%\rclone\rclone.log

15

The only problem i have now, is manuel deleting the cache files from
C:\Users\django\AppData\Local\rclone, that have been uploaded.

I have 2 folders "vfs" and "vfsMeta". BOTH FOLDER stores the files i uploading to gdrive haha xD

should never touch the files in the cache.

after a file is uploaded and not in-use, rclone will evict the file.
can see that in the debug log.

the default evict time period is one hour but can tweak that.
--vfs-cache-max-age=5m will evict a file after five minutes.

17

Shall i use --vfs-cache-max-age=5m , in the command when mounting or after the upload?

I use this to mount and upload.
rclone mount Tegnefilm: Y: --vfs-cache-mode full -v

18

lol, jojothehumanmokey issues the following proclamation onto humanity

  • thou shalt use --vfs-cache-max-age in the mount command.
  • the illicit use of --vfs-cache-max-age after the upload is sin on your rclone soul!

xDDDD i appreciate the support <3

All seems good know. The cache files deleting auto after upload...... weird after i cry about it.... So i didnt really have problem. The REAL problem was Google litmit lul, and now i know a lit more about rclone =)
