Mount Apple M1 MBP to GSuite/Drive - best method in 2024?

my preferred way of mounting remotes on macOS is:

  1. rclone nfsmount - works out of the box
  2. rclone mount with FUSE-T
  3. rclone mount with macFUSE - IMO this should be avoided - too many issues

To use option 1 please use the latest beta:

sudo -v ; curl https://rclone.org/install.sh | sudo bash -s beta

or wait for rclone v1.66 release

Then:

rclone nfsmount gsuite: /Users/me/Mount --vfs-cache-mode full --vfs-cache-max-size 10G --vfs-refresh --vfs-fast-fingerprint --volname gsuite 

Adjust vfs-cache-max-size to what you prefer. This is amount of disk space used for cache.
