see the image below. I deleted about 200GB but Clouddrive is still showing the google drive as full, and isn't updating, still shows as 500+GB if i log into Google drive. i have tried cleanup, clearing cache and reauth (just in case)

I have a pool that has 2 8TB drives. I am going to upgrade both drives to 16TB but I cannot add a new 16TB without first removing a 8TB. I wasn't doing any pool duplication so several days ago I kicked it off and it is 25% done. Takes forever. My plan was to wait until this is done, then remove one of the 8TB drives and replace with a 16TB, wait for it to re-write the pool to the 16TB, then remove the 2nd 8TB and add the 16TB. To me this is the only way given I cannot have all the drives connected at the same time. Does this make sense?

That would work (presuming you have enough free space). Alternatively you could use a USB drive dock to connect and add one of the new drives before removing one of the old drives, then repeat the process with the other new and old drives. Though this assumes you have a spare USB port and a USB dock to plug into it. There's also manual tricks you can use to more quickly (still takes a while) replace pooled drives with new ones, but they require a certain level of "knowing what you're doing" in case anything doesn't go according to plan, involving copying from inside the pool drives' hidden PoolPart folders.

Thanks Rob, DrivePool correctly found the drives. Am I correct that if I wanted to re-assign the drive letters of the physical drives it will work the same way? EDIT - went ahead and re-assigned drive letters - DrivePool adjusted itself immediately

As long as Drivepool can see the drives it'll know exactly which pool they belong to. I move drives around regularly between my server and an external diskshelf and they always reconnect to the correct pools.

AFAIK, copying, even cloning does not work. The easiest way is: 1. Install/connect new HDD 2. Add HDD to the Pool 3. And now you can either click on Remove for the 6TB HDD or use Manage Pool -> Balancing -> Balancers -> Drive Usage Limiter -> uncheck Duplicated and Unduplicated -> Save -> Remeasure and Rebalance. 4. Wait. Until. It. Is. Done. (though you can reboot normally if you want/need to and it'll continue after boot. Not entirely sure if you go the Remove route.
