Help with slow transfer speeds on Google Drive Mount

[Watermalia (Kyle)]

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

Using rclone mount with my google drive, I'm getting slow download/copy speeds when trying to transfer files from the drive to my computer. I used to get 25MB/s downloads using this method until it suddenly dropped to 2-3MB/s. I've tried using a different account and different Client IDs/Secrets in the config to no avail. On my laptop which uses the SAME EXACT configuration, I'm able to get the 25MB/s speeds that I want, but I'm unable to achieve this on the desktop that I'm currently on.

What is your rclone version (output from rclone version)

1.52.3

Which OS you are using and how many bits (eg Windows 7, 64 bit)

Windows 10, 64 bit

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

Google Drive

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

rclone mount SCAMALS: G:

The rclone config contents with secrets removed.

hello and welcome to the forum

so it seems to be an issue with your desktop, not with rclone issue, correct?

we can try to figure it out anyway.

[Watermalia (Kyle)]

Yeah, it sounds like a problem with my machine but I have no idea what could be causing it. Again, downloading from google drive online yields a much higher speed than when I'm copy pasting from my mounted google drive rclone.

[asdffdsa (jojothehumanmonkey)]

here i solved an issue with a windows machine, slow with gdrive

Very slow speeds with Google Drive

windows has something called AutoTune and i know this can get disabled. i would run this on both your computer and brother's computer. netsh interface tcp show global To tweak AutoTune netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=normal and these are possible values disabled : uses a fixed value for the tcp receive window. Limits it to 64KB (limited at 65535). highlyrestricted : allows the receive window to grow beyond its default value, very conservatively restricted : somewhat restricted g…

rclone mount on windows will be slower then gdrive web site.

I did some digging on google and on this site but I haven't seen the post that you specifically mentioned. Anyhow, your method worked! Thank you very much.

sure, glad to help
