Ok, I realize this is a loaded question and potentially outside the scope of what CloudDrive was intended for. I am curious as to the "official" answer though. The online storage providers I use, Box, DropBox, Google, OneDrive, etc, are free accounts, not paid. Most of them have specific limitations to how much can be uploaded in a day/week/month, maximum file size, maximum upload size, etc. I would like to create drives to each of these providers and then pool them with DrivePool. My concern is that DrivePool tries to copy/upload a file(s) to a provider that is beyond the limit. Are there rules/plugins that I can configure for that pool/drive?
Here's a possible scenario:
I have a 50gb free Box account. The limitation are a max file size of 250mb.
I have a 2gb free DropBox account. 200mb file size limitation and a maximum upload of 500mb per day.
I have a 200gb GoogleDrive account. No llmitations.
- I want to use them in the above order, and only use the next drive if it doesn't meet the accounts criteria. In that, if I have a 300mb file it would get put on the GoogleDrive account because it's too large for Box and DropBox.
- If I have a 20mb file, but Box is full, then it should go on DropBox.
- If I have a 5mb file and Box is not full, then the file should go on Box.
Can CloudDrive parse these type of "errors/warnings" from the provider to cease writes until defined configuration has been reached?
-if error "too big" then try next drive in pool.
-if error "too much uploaded" then start defined timer (ex. 24 days/hours/min) and try next drive. This drive will cease to attempt writes until the defined time has lapsed.
Ultimately, I'm curious if this is something that can be configured in CloudDrive and passed to DrivePool, and/or controlled by rules in either.
