I want to move a 300BG+ file. Originally I was using Rclone mount but I got advice saying it's better to use a remote as it doesn't store cache on the computer
What is your rclone version (output from rclone version)
rclone v1.53.3
os/arch: windows/amd64
go version: go1.15.5
Which OS you are using and how many bits (eg Windows 7, 64 bit)
Windows 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)
I saw this in the rclone mount guide but still not sure what to do
first set up your remote using rclone config. Check it works with rclone ls etc.
You can either run mount in foreground mode or background (daemon) mode. Mount runs in foreground mode by default, use the --daemon flag to specify background mode mode. Background mode is only supported on Linux and OSX, you can only run mount in foreground mode on Windows.
On Linux/macOS/FreeBSD Start the mount like this where /path/to/local/mount is an empty existing directory.
rclone mount remote:path/to/files /path/to/local/mount
Or on Windows like this where X: is an unused drive letter or use a path to non-existent directory.
rclone mount remote:path/to/files X:
rclone mount remote:path/to/files C:\path\to\nonexistent\directory
So for this part
rclone mount remote:path/to/files X:
rclone mount remote:path/to/files C:\path\to\nonexistent\directory
If I when I mount it using the letter or a nonexistent directory, does it get mounted as similar to using rclone mount(without the remote). My current command it like so
rclone mount GoogleDrive: U: --vfs-cache-max-size 10G --cache-dir "D:\Tools For Games\Mount Google Drives\Rclone\Cache Folder" --vfs-cache-mode full
When using rclone mount remote should I still use
--vfs-cache-max-size 10G --cache-dir "D:\Tools For Games\Mount Google Drives\Rclone\Cache Folder" --vfs-cache-mode full
is it a "good enough" upload speed when compared to the speedtest.net results? I'm worried I should change a setting that might be throttling my uploads speeds. I already change the --drive-chunk-size to 256M, made my own client id also
. Is there anything else?
sorry, cannot give you an answer, too many variables.
gdrive has all kinds of limits, bans, 2 transactions per second and on and on.
and it depends on the mix of files, number of files, size of files and on and on.
when i first started using rclone with wasabi and found the best settings.
i did a bunch of tests, tweaking transfers, checkers, chunk size.
i suggest that you do the same.
I'm using rclone copy on a folder with 11 files in the folder. In the image located in the link it shows only 4 files under the "transferring". Does that mean that only 4 files are transferring at a time and the other 7 files will only begin transferring after the first 4 are done? Is there anyway to increase it to 11 files under the "transferring"
