First-time user of CloudDrive, still in the trial. Considering going for the bundle but want to make sure that it works before I purchase.
I'm wondering wether CloudDrive is actually moving any data or not. I'm trying to get this to work with Amazon Cloud Drive (yes, experimental and throttled, I know). I've created a 1 TB drive with 20 MB chunk size and a 100 GB local cache. After the drive was created I almost filled it up, most of which I then deleted whereafter I have almost filled the drive to about half capacity (the point here is that I'm estimating that I've totalled more than 1 TB of writes to it). The last writes to the drive finished about five hours ago.
CloudDrive has been showing various upload speeds between 1 Mbit/s and 10 Mbit/s since I started writing to the drive. The cloud provider's web interface confirms that I've so far managed to upload about 80 GB of chunks. The right-hand pie chart in CloudDrive is still showing all of my data as "Local" and nothing as stored in the cloud. The left-hand pie chart shows "To upload: 1 TB". I've tried turning "Background I/O" both on and off, but I haven't seen any difference (not entirely sure what this toggle does anyway). Should I not see about 80 GB of data starting to appear in the cloud here?
