i would read this as this is what i do. from @VBB
Plex playing, buffering, stoppage - rclone mount issues
for mounts for media streaming, i use a read-only mount and use priming when i add media.
gdive does polling so no need to continually update the dir cache.
tl;dr
if you want you can add --vfs-cache-mode full --cache-dir D:\ to the command below
I suggest you try my mount settings. Note that this is a read-only mount. Create a .bat file with the following
(replace my path and drive name with your own, of course):
@echo off
title Rclone Mount READ ONLY
D:\Programs\Rclone\rclone mount --buffer-size 256M --dir-cache-time 1000h --poll-interval 15s --rc --read-only --timeout 1h -v Google_Drive_Crypt: G:
pause
Then create another batch file with this (replacing my path again):
@echo off
title Rclone Prime
D:\Programs\Rclone\rclone rc vfs/refresh recursive=true --fast-list -v
pause
Run this after you mount the drive to "prime" it. This will basically cache the file and folder structure for much, much faster reading afterwards, and it does so very quickly. You'll want to re-run this whenever you make changes to your mount.
also, depending on which cloud service you are using this can be very helpful and i use it.
