So funny! I just spent a few hours last night setting up rclone for the first time on my Macbook!

I've got one of those legacy Google Drive unlimited storage plans, and for years I've been using it to store all my code, video projects I work on, etc.

The way I normally use it is inefficient: if I was importing videos for a project, I'd use the Google Drive web UI to upload them into Drive, where I'd later organize them, etc.

Over the years I tried a variety of Goole Drive syncing tools, but all eventually stopped working, or were so unbearably slow that I couldn't justify it.

Last night I spent some time and set up rclone for Drive, along with a persistent mount so that Google Drive is always accessible via ~/Drive. So far it seems like everything is working well -- really amazing software! <3



Isn’t google getting rid of all the old legacy unlimited plans?


I certainly haven't heard anything about it as a gsuite subscriber


They got rid of them already. Unenforced so far as far as I can tell.
