I have mounted drive and point a domain there and upload some files on server side and also can see that files on gdrive, and domain is working and playing videos, im bit confused here, when i will upload any file on mounted drive that means that file not belong to my server right? and if that is playing, thats means its playing from google drive?
can i share my domain in private msg?

Thanks

  • if you upload a file, the file is copied to gdrive, not stored on local.
  • if you play a file from the webserver, the file is streamed from gdrive to local.
    the webserver thinks that the file is stored at /www/wwwroot/drive
    that is the beauty of rclone mount , make gdrive appear as local storage.

does nothing on a rclone mount, read the documentation

--vfs-cache-mode full enable the rclone cache

we can work on that if you want.

well, i see that you already did that.
i watched the video, that landscape is beautiful and the music is good.

yes, you can use screen.

need to create a rclone remote to store the crypted files.

  1. on gdrive, create a new root folder to store the crypted files, call it whatever you want.
  2. make sure you can see it using rclone lsd rClone:
  3. tell me the name of the folder.

need to create a rclone remote for the crypt files, as documented here

for remote> remote:path
change remote:path to rClone:silip

for everything else, choose defaults.

no matter what, make sure to save the passwords!!!

imho, once you test the new crypt remote and it is working, backup the rclone.conf file.
if you lose the rclone.conf file and do not save the passwords, you can never decrypt the files ever!
