What is the problem you are having with rclone?
Rclone is eating up my local SSD, even though I'm drag and dropping directly from my External HDD to Rclone Drive Mount.
What is your rclone version (output from rclone version)
Rclone version 1.55.1
Which OS you are using and how many bits (eg Windows 7, 64 bit)
Raspberry Pi OS Desktop
Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)
Google Drive
The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)
This is how my rclone.service looks for mounting Google Drive.

Noob alert, VERY first time working with Linux, Rclone etc. I had an old laptop laying around with an 500gb SSD and i5, that I wanted to use for Plex Media Server. Installed a completely fresh version of Raspberry Pi OS Desktop on it and installed Rclone to mount my Google Drive locally, so I can use that for my Plex Library. I found some commands online for mounting google drive and using it. for Plex from @animosity22 / homescripts. After mounting Google Drive using the rclone.service, I plugged in my external HDD, and dragged and dropped everything from my external HDD to the GDD(Google Drive mount), it's around 1.8TB Data. It started transferring, but after many hours, I got an error (Input/output error), and then I can see that my laptop 500GB SSD is completely filled up, and no available space on it. I double checked and I can see that some of the files have been transferred to Google Drive, but for some hours now, nothings happened. And my SSD is still filled up. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance.
