Syncing very slow to Google Drive

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

I am having slower speeds than what my internet/server can handle while syncing to my Google Drive remote. I followed SpaceInvader's vanilla video on how to set rclone up with sync to Google Drive. What flag should I be adding?

What is your rclone version (output from rclone version)

rclone v1.51.0

  • os/arch: linux/amd64
  • go version: go1.13.7

Which OS you are using and how many bits (eg Windows 7, 64 bit)

Unraid 6.8.3

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)

rclone moveto /mnt/user/ secure:UnraidShareTest --progress --bwlimit 0

The rclone config contents with secrets removed.

[gdrive]
type = drive
scope = drive
token = (token here)
root_folder_id = (id here)

[secure]
type = crypt
remote = gdrive:secure
filename_encryption = standard
directory_name_encryption = true
password = (password here)
password2 = (password2 here)

A log from the command with the -vv flag

What's your internet speed and what does a speed test report?

curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sivel/speedtest-cli/master/speedtest.py | python -

Is it more than 20 megabits up?
