Hi and welcome.
My goal isn't to write a tutorial / step by step for the novice.
The goal of the post is to provide details for technical folks to help them.
If you have a question in regards to my settings, please ask.
If you have a separate question, please post a new topic rather than hijacking my thread 
Thanks!
Hello @Animosity022, thank you for creating this guideline of sorts for rclone-vfs + mergerfs. I am quite new to this whole thing and the thing is I am having problems with hard linking the files that radarr/sonarr has downloaded to the local directory. Basically I pointed everything (radarr/sonarr/plex server) to the MergerFS folder (Local folder + GDrive mount). Do you have any recommendations for me? 
Feel free to make a new post and just share your settings and how you mergerfs configured and I am more than happy to help!
We just need to set your setup and what's going on as it should work.
Will do a new post, thank you so much!
Every couple of months I like to come back this post to make changes to my configs for optimization. This time however I am having a hard time following along as a few switches that I thought you used are no longer in use? I have done some searching but I cant seem to find out why pieces of my mount are no longer used. I have 12GB of RAM on my machine and am on a gigabit connection. Any thoughts on what I should remove or add?

WantedBy=default.targetI leave those as defaults are those are just range requests to download a range of data. So having it small or larger doesn't impact much.
I don't upload to my drive so I don't use this. I use it in my upload script though and since I have memory, I use 1G lately albeit it doesn't really impact much.
You can really make this a huge value as having it small doesn't really buy much.
I find very little difference in buffer size as the only time this really comes into play is direct play and it may provide a little bit of help for spotty connections, but it's only from your plex to rclone.
Many devices have small buffers in Plex so having this large really does little. If it's working for you, I'd leave it though
So I am a total noob at all of this, don't suppose anyone could tell me just how to start this configuration to optimise rclone for plex?
This thread is really for questions related to my settings. If you are asking for something else, I'd suggest to start a new thread and I am sure someone would help out.
Totally understand, I do want to implement what you have done but I dont know how to!! Would actually pay to get someone to configure rclone for me at the moment!!
Are you on any of the main trackers or IRC at all?
Hey,
I really try to understand why stuff like caching seems Important, but then in the Configuration you wrote
" This is a sample cache configuration. I use this just for testing cache items and not something I currently use.
I wouldn't recommend the plex integration as it slows things down imo and you aren't saving much in terms of API hits."
So Is it technically enough to make a simple Script to mount Gsuite when starting the Server?
I seem to miss what's important and what's not...
I don't use the cache backend as it makes my setup slower. If you are asking for a cache config, you can make a new post and someone can help out if you can describe what you are trying to do.
If you have question related to one of my settings that I use, let me know and I am happy to help.
Oh, I think I worded it awkwardly. Sometimes my english fails me, since I'm not a native speaker, sorry...
So I'm trying to Automount my Gsuite to my Ubuntu Server on start-up.
I keep reading about API hits and how that can be resolved: by caching most of the stuff.
Now your config says, that you're not using the cache option. Don't you hit this API Limit?
Wouldn't something like "rclone mount Gsuite:/lol /mnt/lol" be enough?
Don't get me wrong I like that you do the effort for the Community and I do appreciate it very much.
I seem to miss the point if a one liner is enough or not. I just try to keep stuff and scripts as simple as possible.
I have never even come close to getting near the API limits.
I barely hit 60k let alone the 1 billion per day limit.
My specific mount command is listed on my github:
That's how I mount my Google Drive for use with Plex and Emby. I basically try to use defaults where it makes sense and only tweak things if it has value. Many of the settings made it into the defaults.
Ohh I was looking in the wrong File... Okay...
So if I understand you correctly I' just need to create a new executable(?) textfile into the dir /etc/systemd/system/
and name the line
ExecStart=/usr/bin/rclone mount gcrypt: /GD \
Acoording to my rclone settings and where I want the Mountpoint?
On most recent Linux OS's that would be the case. If you a question regarding a specific setting I have, I can answer here. If you have a use question for rclone, I would just start a new thread.
On that premise, I am curious on why you are defining a user-agent? Apologies if I missed a conversation about that.
There was a brief period of time when Google was rate limiting the rclone user agent so I have left it in.
I am using the rclone to mount Google Drive to seed torrents. But found there are no upload speed at all for my torrent client all days (even if many peers are trying to connect to me).
Any suggestion for the mount parameters and torrent client? The torrent client I am using for now is qBitorrent (which has a nice fast resume option to skip torrent hash checking for me to add new torrents into). And the rclone mount parameters I am using for now is the one in your Github which is suitable for Plex,
rclone mount -v gd:path_remote /home/path_local \
-vv \
--allow-other \
--buffer-size 256M \
--dir-cache-time 1000h \
--poll-interval 15s \
--timeout 1h \
--umask 002
Looking for your suggestion! Thanks
I don't use torrents on my rclone mount as it's a horrible use case for cloud storage.
I only use the use case for my settings for playing media back.
