This does seem to be an issue. I understand the idea of wanting recovery, but should cleanup not do this? I am testing a new service and only have a 10gb cloud drive. I put a 9gb file on it to test and need to do more testing, but deleting from the mapped drive on my machine does nothing on the actual cloud provider. You need to at the very least implement a proper cleanup. The fact that cleanup says "Clean up data in the cloud that is not longer in use" should mean reclaiming that space in the cloud. As it stands now it kind of seems useless. At least give us an option to do a proper clean or permanent delete or something like that so that what we see in the CloudDrive is reflected in the actual provider. I really shouldn't need to get another 3rd party utility. Plus considering I want to use this for storing large backups and automatically deleting older ones, at this rate I would have to automate something else to ensure the old backups are actually deleted. Just to add to this, considering everything is stored as chunks on the provider you can't just delete them since you don't know what is what. So how do you go about reclaiming provider space if deleting from your clouddrive effectively does nothing? Using something like sdelete certainly won't work unless you are doing it at that exact moment. For example I have been using clouddrive for a few years with my google drive, at this point if I don't switch providers it will get full soon (almost at 10tb) and I will have no idea how to reclaim the space from previously deleted files that I had assumed were gone from the provider end as well. Without a proper cleanup option I fail to see myself continuing to use Clouddrive as it really isn't doing what I thought it was.

I'm another person with the incredibly slow download speeds from google drive. If I go to the web and download a file directly I can hit the 6-700Mbps easily, but with CloudDrive it seem to hit about 35Mbps as a max. I have tried tweaking the settings and it never improves. More threads, less threads, minimum size from 1 to 100MB and only ever gets slower. Does anyone have an actual working google drive clouddrive? Cause these speeds make it essentially useless which is a shame. I have a gigabit up/down connection so dealing with that kind of slowdown (when I know direct from site is not slow) is just not feasible. Love the drivepool and scanner but at these speeds (at least from google drive) clouddrive is just not worth it. This is even more so cause I wanted to be putting copies of my backups there and if I needed to pull them down it would take about 91 hours at these speeds. So any advices, or solutions? Or will it really not work with google drive. Update: Tweaking some more and have found settings that at least appear to do a much much better job. This is getting me 500-560Mbps download. Any higher with the minimum size and it drops in performance. And any higher prefetch forward doesn't appear to help. Anyways now that it is at a speed that is good I am going to be much happier. Hopefully those settings can help any others that have issues with google drive and speeds

I have not, didn't even think about it. Trying it now, I imagine it will still take a little bit to finish as the pool with those drives added is not small. Just really hope it works. Thanks much. Thank you thank you thank you!!! It finished the remeasure way quicker than I would have thought and that works perfectly!! Ok so to sum this up if anyone else wants to add drives with data into an existing pool and then include that data. Add drive Stop DrivePool service - this avoids rebalancing while moving data. Move (not copy) the folders/files you want in the pool to the hidden folder (Poolpart.XXXXXXX) on the newly added drive Restart the DrivePool service Files/folders will now show up in the drivepool Run re-measure to get the drives to show space as part of the pool and not other All done and significantly faster than copying terabytes of data

So I have a drivepool of 6 8tb drives and have 4 other 4tb drives that are all full (or almost full) of data that I want to add. I added the first one and then as I read on here, I moved the existing folders into the hidden folder (Poolpart.XXXXXXX) and the folders now show up under the drivepool drive. But the thing is within the drivepool program itself it still shows the drive as having 3.44TB other and 207gb free but nothing as actual pool space. I know I can just copy data over but we are talking about 12tb and that just takes a bunch of extra time. Once I have moved the data should it not be showing as drivepool data and not as other?
