Rclone is fantastic. It's much easier to use that most of the cloud storage APIs themselves.

Plus rclone makes it easy to migrate between providers. I just moved a backup process from Gcloud to B2 now my side business is growing up: you can start with whatever storage is free/convenient then switch to something more mature later with minimal effort.

I run a ~75TB plex server with 99% on Google drive with 0 issues using rclone mount on a haswell i3. Can get close to 20 folks on gigabit before it blinks.

Are you using the VFS cache liberally? I'm quite stingy with my settings, but get downloadQuotaExceeded errors from time to time.

No rclone cache. 2 week local storage cache with unionfs

Thats an impressive setup. Is that across multiple g drives?

Probably a single user business that's has unlimited storage. I think the plan is for $12?

The only Google Workspace plan that offers unlimited is the contact-sales-for-pricing "Enterprise" tier. The $12/user/month plan only includes 2TB/user: https://workspace.google.com/pricing.html

$20 a month. Enterprise with 1 user.

> $20 a month. Enterprise with 1 user.

Holy shit. I didn't know that was an option. I just assumed that there was some minimum number of users (like 10-20) that made it non-viable for personal use-cases.

there is and there isn't. it says minimum 5 users (so $100 a month) but they don't enforce it.

Hear hear.

Been personally using for 1.5 years with Backblaze thanks to HN with 0 problems. Have even done some restores succesfully!
