Very interesting. Where did you read about auto_cache? From looking at the man page it doesn’t look that useful

Yeah, it seems to deal more with the flushing aspect than the actual caching. From looking at the documentation, the kernel_cache looks like a better option:

   kernel_cache
          This  option  disables  flushing  the  cache of the file contents on every open(2).
          This should only be enabled on filesystems, where the file data  is  never  changed
          externally  (not through the mounted FUSE filesystem).  Thus it is not suitable for
          network filesystems and other intermediate filesystems.

          NOTE: if this option is not specified (and neither direct_io) data is still  cached
          after  the  open(2),  so  a  read(2)  system  call  will not always initiate a read
          operation.

It is probably possible to add auto_cache to mount using the https://github.com/bazil/fuse/ library rclone uses.

From what I can see in the API docs, there seems to be some sort of cache but no explicit documentation exists regarding the options.
