so... i tried to activate the business advanced plan given that with my trial i uploaded 5tb out of 3 that were available.
i chatted with a nice guy who told me that given the high number of request they can give me 10tb/week..
i am thining to try box.com:
pro unlimited space
con maximum number of api request (50k/month... don't know if they are a lot or not enough), maxiumum 5gb file (need to use chunker)
any thought about this? time runs fast...
Thanks for the report, and looking forward to your update!
BTW, how did you manage to pay them?
Currently at a bit over 11TB uploaded, speed has been fairly consistent. No errors from Rclone thus far.
Their web portal simply shows 11TB/Unlimited, so it doesn't sound like I'll have to "request space".
I'm not sure what you mean by pay them, I used a CC?
talking again about box.com: any idea what 50.000 api calls/month in human terms mean? one file upload/download counts as 1 api call? (i would be really surprised)...
Directly through them, or one of the "resellers" they point to? When I checked a few days ago, Box itself was only accepting wire transfers end cryptocurrencies, for CC they pointed to these "resellers" which smelled quite fishy to me, and also charged large fees... :-/
Directly through them, I am staying far away from resellers now. I am in the US.(Not sure if you are)
That really does sound odd they're trying to push you to a reseller. No additional fees for using a CC.
box.com has limits on file sizes just FYI, first tier of business plans is only 5GB each file max
max 5gb for files size can be easily solved with chunker, i tried it on personal box.com (max 500mb/file) and chunked it in 100mb chunks and crypted them, worked fine
yeah but chunker is a beta feature, no? is it stable?
To note, I've been using it in production at an enterprise, and have not had any issues as of yet. I didn't even notice it was in beta, as it just works. (At least for me)
Yes it is stable and only misses resume functionality. It means that if your many chunks upload is interrupted and you start again everything will have to be re-uploaded. Worse still is that previously uploaded chunks will be left behind... and stay there forever invisible for chunker remote unless you manually clean them in underlying remote . It is actually easy but annoying.
It happens because all chunks during upload are stored with random suffix - only renamed when all file is uploaded (making all operation sort of atomic).
I'm starting down the same path. I'm curious why you would add more accounts to dropbox? I thought only 3 are required for unlimited space?
Thanks for the data! Managed to get to their CC payment page after creating an account.
activated a box.com business account, got a personal client id, started some tests and found another BIG con: on single transfer the peak speed is around this
Transferred: 1.500 GiB / 279.528 GiB, 1%, 6.693 MiB/s, ETA 11h48m57s
both from my place and webtropia VPS...
I've found the same, if it does multiple parts at once, it is wicked fast. I've had to set --transfers=50 for it to zip along. I opened another forum post on the topic.
I’m just adding more as some friends want to use it as well and they can that way also use it for personal file storage and that’s the only way to keep them securely separate.
This post pointed out that it seems that exceeding the total limit will not be affected, as long as the limit per minute is not exceeded
Maybe we can also add the --tpslimit parameter to make appropriate restrictions to avoid the 429 code after exceeding the threshold
Surely if you're over the API limit, there will be some sort of issue. Guess only time will tell?
I remember another using box.com to transfer 20tb of data and they haven't run into any API limitations yet.
In the absence of any substitutes at present, we can only use it as usual first, and make another plan when Box starts to implement strict regulations (laughs)
I am on a Box Trial due to Dropbox's crackdown to 10TB/week. It seems by default you use box's public api key. On their basic unlimited plan, its limited to 50,000 api calls per month, with chunker enabled at 4.9gb, I have over 200,000 api calls. But when I run an activity report, it shows rclone using the api, but under the "chargeable" column it says no. Im up to 50tb on box with a trial of 3 users and only 1 active. Just trying it out, seems to be "ok", but ive been hearing European customers experience super slow speeds.
Also, what is the chunker command to clean out unused chunks? Ive had to stop uploads and resume on many occasions.
