Initial Google Drive and rclone Questions for Plex

Help and Support
1

Hello, I'm sorry for not sharing any details since, I have not tried anything yet.

But, I have some advices to take so that I could plan the setup.

Google Drive: Team Drive (Cheap Options from Some Websites)
OS: Linux Debian 10 on the Server and Windows 10 on the Home Server.
Purpose: I want to use same Google Team Drive for both Linux Server and Windows Server to store the Movies/Shows and Accessible with Plex.

Questions:

  1. Google Team Drives works well with the rclone or do I need Google Suite Business Drives / .edu Google Drives?

  2. How can I mount a drive on Windows 10 using rclone?

  3. If you could share the easiest and best performance based guide so that I could mount Google Drive on Linux and Windows both without much buffering/transcoding?

  4. Google Team Drives are Write/Read or Read Only?

  5. Google .edu Drives are Write/Read or Read Only?

Thanks.

Okay, I have successfully mounted a drive. But the problem is that, the drive mounted is mine own Google Drive Account with 15GB. It didn't mount the Shared Team Drive.
