So does this replace plexdrive? I’m really trying to get rid of it simply the process. For our script on [http://plexguide.com](http://plexguide.com), the only thing rclone is used for is to move files to google drive with the bandwidth limit and works extremely well. Hopefully this cache feature is a replacement. Write now, our unionfs is a merger of the local drive and plexdrive. Files bounce to the local drive and sync via rclone. Any news on the caching feature working in such a way? ---

Hello there, Great! I already use this version with Google drive \>\> Cache \>\> Crypt way. (with dir cache and file cache with writeing mode) I set my Plex acc. when i create the cache storage. My question is that how to check that is working or not, in rclone log, i dont found any sign that it is working or not… ---

Awesome, thanks for all the hard work. I coincidentally pulled rclone to my mac via Brew yesterday, and thought “Hmm, don’t remember 1.39 being released”. 😃 ---

@ncw, is extracting to a mount now possible (ACD or GSuite)? Old thread: [https://forum.rclone.org/t/extracting-to-acd-mount-possible/](https://forum.rclone.org/t/extracting-to-acd-mount-possible/) ---

Thanks for the quick reply. 🙂 Just to clarify: I would have to use that flag on the mount command, right? ---

What if I just want to cache the one file I’m reading at that moment and not the entire drive? Say video file opened in vlc? After the change I’m still not sure which setting tackles that scenario. ---

> [@rpgdev](#): > > What if I just want to cache the one file I’m reading at that moment and not the entire drive? Say video file opened in vlc? After the change I’m still not sure which setting tackles that scenario. the vfs cache will cache individual files if set to `--vfs-cache-mode full` - however it will download them in their entirety before playing. The cache backend is probably what you want for this... ---
