Did you get this figured out? I swapped out 2 drives this week, but I did them one at a time.. same-first drive removed quickly and easily, the 2nd drive took ~5 days after a remove error I received after 36 hours..

i see what you mean about the 2x10tb only have 1x18tb to go to.. the 2nd 10tb successfully removed, yay! as for the drive not showing up in my tower-it was not showing up in BIOS or Disk Management; turns out it was the 3.3v pin on a shucked WD white label that was the issue.. i covered up the power pin with tape and all is well now. thank you so much for your response. now i'm in the process of removing the 18tbs and 10tbs and reformatting them, so i can increase the allocation unit size from 4KB to 64KB

Sorry for the inconvenience; I searched the forum last night and this morning before deciding to post this, haven't really seen anyone post this yet.. I have 5 drives in a Sabrent 5 bay usb c enclosure that I created my drivepool with: 2x 10tb, 2x 12tb, 1x 14tb; i want to remove 2x 10tb and install new 2x 18tb; i successfully removed 1x10tb, it didn't take much time, i had the middle of 4 boxes checked on the remove options, and I installed 1 18tb; now it's time to remove the 2nd 10tb, and it's been a weeks long struggle for me.... it took like 36hrs and i got an error-"There is not enough space on the disk" ...how? i just installed an 18tb and i see the pool has barely put like 1/10 of data on it; then i thought, i have 2x4tb drives in my tower (not apart of any pool), and stablebit scanner has been telling me they're failing; i'll remove them, install the 2x 10tb i trying to remove from the enclosure; i successfully removed the 1x 10tb from the pool, i'll just pull the 2nd 10tb and put both in my tower and add them back to the pool; tried that and my computer only reads the 1 i successfully removed, the 2nd 10tb is not showing up (i did read from my prior search that this is because it's in read only mode..?); i thought my computer would read the 2nd 10tb, and that drivepool will identify it and carry on like it's in the pool (all i did was take it out of my enclosure and put it in my tower). so now i put the (error'd)10tb back in my enclosure, i added the 1 (removed)10tb into my tower, added it to the pool, so fingers crossed it won't tell me there is not enough space on the disk... I'm at 85.7% on the removal as of writing this. ?-did i go about this correctly? (i know)i have been impatient to let it duplicate/rebalance while i'm trying to complete my drives swap ?-why did it give me the not enough space error when i added a new 18tb? ?-why does the 2nd 10tb only read in my Sabrent enclosure but not when I install it in my tower? Thanks in advance!

Hi Shane, I did not attempt the 'Resize' method; i'm downloading all my data from Google Drive to local storage and 'Destroy'ing the drives, that is working for me so far. Thanks for your response.

I too have this concern. I just received notice from Google about exceeding pooled storage limit. I deleted about 2TB from my drive, ran the Clean Up in CloudDrive, but it did not reduce that amount of storage shown being used in my Google Drive

No upgrade, i did clean install; it’s running well. Don’t be scared, lol

I'd like to learn more about the cache drive too; I've only seen my cache drive clear on it's own once since I started using CloudDrive few weeks ago; it seems the cache drive not clearing is a serious concern because if you shutdown/restart, then it wants to go through and check the entire cache and I think try to re-upload stuff that already uploaded

I spent a good amount of time reading other similar posts here about CloudDrive running recovery after a shutdown/restart.. other than running Trace and Troubleshooting, I don't feel like I got a grasp on what is going on or how to prevent this, so I'm asking again, for myself (sorry!) I am running CloudDrive v1.1.7.1391 on Window 11 Pro; I have 2x 60TB drives with Google Drive and a 1TB SSD drive caching both CloudDrives (@ 200GB/ea) I patiently waited until uploads on both drives completed; I shut down my PC and unplugged all wires for a dust cleaning and hardware removal + installation; i completely unplugged all my drives. When I fired my PC back up, my CloudDrives didn't immediately appear like they normally do; after some time (~5-10mins) they appeared, I have Unsafe Shutdown notfications and each drive is showing 200GB/each "To upload"-how is this possible when there was nothing uploading when I shutdown? If shutting down via Windows Shutdown is Unsafe, then what is a 'Safe' shutdown for CloudDrive? A second question I have is-I assume after uploads are complete and no data on the CloudDrives are being accessed, the cache drive should be empty, but I've only seen my cache drive empty once in the few weeks I've been learning and trying CloudDrive.. is this incorrect? Will the cache drive always be half-full? Please forgive my ignorance and THANK YOU so much in advance!

Hi all! Please forgive my ignorance, I'm just about 24hrs since creating my first CloudDrive, I'm BRAND NEW around here... I would like some advice re: Should I add a new connection (using gdrive) when adding a second/multiple drive or is it okay to add additional drives under the same connection? Thanks!
