  1. Just curious about what prefetching time window is. So far the application has been working beautifully after a few growing pains. My prefetch settings were 1 MB to 400 MB prefetch and 60s time window. I am curious what the time window is for? I understand prefetch where if you are downloading 1 MB it decides to grab 400 for you. What does the time window represent? Watching videos through plex it will pause for a couple of seconds as it is prefetching the next batch of 400 MB and it continues that way, sometimes plex says it cannot play it other times it resumes it. Just trying to figure out the best settings for it.
  2. Agreed so far my experience with cloud drive has been quite pleasant. To be honest i am in more of a backup phase than a enjoying content phase. I have been dumping my libraries onto it. So far it has reliably played things back, and with the newest updates i get a lot of download. Prefetching and caching are incredible pieces of tech implemented in it to allow a malleable drive.
  3. Ok it seems to be dismounting again, will try lowering the threads to about 10
  4. Been using 20 still with new .783 so far so good will report back, it only stops running in the evening during the day it never dismounts
  5. Yeah 783 is now giving me great speeds. However i honestly think it varies based on how many users are using it. More users = more API calls meaning you dont get as much. But this is a theory i do not know the extent of how it works.
  6. I updated to 783 and its been working quite well now. You want to change your prefetch to 100 MB or 400 MB at least. Again if you are having issues with download i recommend reauthorizing your account as well, because of the API pool issue.
  7. I am on .777 and it doesn't really max out my line. It gets 25Mb/s my line can do 10000Mb/s

    Memory Leak

    This might be why my cloud drive is dismounting drives. I haven't figured out why it is just yet. Mine doesn't shut down my PC cause my Ram is about 24
  9. I have the same problem, the hanging issue i found happens when you are uploading and watching at the same time. It'll lock up and unmount the drive. So far i have been in backup mode and not really watching things. But every night it will dismount, and i have no idea what is causing it. It is just something i expect at this point, but i always press remount and it comes back with my upload in progress.
  10. I don't know if it has to do with external or not. For me it can't create a local cache on an external drive.
  11. I have gigabit and i can't pull 300-400 on google drive. Using a student unlimited account. And have you tried watching while running uploads?
  12. Yes, detach it and reattach it to another drive
  13. That is the bottleneck of the software at the moment. It has a limited amount of API calls to a provider. If more users are using the API then it can't really work. As more users adopt clouddrive it becomes worse and worse.
  14. Is this possible to do? Is this recommended? does this have any adverse effects? I did this one time and i think it just stopped allowing it to upload. Since i have been backing up most of my content i was wondering if i would be allowed to clear local cache occasionally during the upload process

    Encryption Question

    Thanks, and seriously this plex cloud thing is a big honeypot. What do people even put on Plex, even BR rips of content you do own is illegal via ToS/ToU. People will put all their content on plex cloud. Amazon will see unencrypted data and then send DMCA takedowns. I was really interested in plex cloud cause it seemed better than using cloud drive. But after reading its unencrypted no thanks. Cloud drive works very well once it is all systems go. Plus plex is already having problems with amazon regarding this

    Drive keeps dismounting

    Yeah mine is now working great. Except that my cloud drive isn't encrypted which has me worried so now i have to transfer from ONE drive to a new encrypted one

    Encryption Question

    Yeah made the mistake of not encrypting my Google drive, but hopefully its obfuscated enough to not be a big deal

    Drive keeps dismounting

    So far it is working well in terms of dismounting. Not having issues with it on 777, The second it starts uploading it dismounts. And the downloading is maxing out at 15 mbps. But the verification chunks download way faster than 15mbps
  20. After reattaching it works perfectly again. I didn't change the minimum download size however its still set to off. After trying it again it seems to be downloading at a lower 15 mbps, ive seen it reach up to 50mbps. My line is 1gbps down. After the prefetch it works well, but the initial part is a bit tough.
  21. I have not been able to get Google drive working well. The download is always limited to about 3-4 Mbps. Before it use to be much higher, seems like the more people using this app the performance takes a heavy hit because of it. Anyway to get it resolved?
  22. Try reauthorizing the drive?

    Encryption Question

    Yeah that was what i was hoping for. I was looking at this new thing Plex Cloud which puts in raw files into Amazon cloud and you can do exactly what this application does. But i do not like the idea of putting at the very least unObfuscated data on the cloud, for legal reasons.

    Encryption Question

    If you did not select to encrypt your drive. How is the data stored? Can someone read the data? It looks like gibberish on the drives themselves. Can you encrypt a drive after you already put data on it.

    Drive keeps dismounting

    Downloaded will test it out, I have noticed Google drive download speed is now atrocious and extremely slow. 3 Mbps. before it use to do way more. Killing ability to stream
