I read over and considered posting this in the existing similar thread, but it seemed to me to be a slightly different topic and likely a different root cause of the situation, I apologize if this should have gone there!
I've been needing to upgrade my Plex solution to a larger storage solution since my home bandwidth speeds just simply can't handle the amount of data needing to be uploaded for viewing 2 1080p streams simultaneously + gaming on the network and other server hosting going on (20mbps). I made the switch to a 3TBx2 solution on SoYouStart, but I'm already realizing that that won't be enough space and within a couple of months I'll be reaching capacity (and it's already biting into the other sites I hosts' space).
Currently I've come up with the idea of trialing ACD's 3-months of unlimited cloud storage to fool around with possibly using something like CloudDrive as a solution, but quickly realized it was going to be rough until ACD got its act together and it would likely be smart to put all of the data into a multi-pool solution where the data is on Google Drive for the next couple years while I'm still a student and get unlimited storage, and ACD would just be a secondary drive duping that one.
After getting everything setup and leaving it to copy for a few hours, I realized that it was going to be unbearably slow as the copy speed from the one VirtIO drive on my Windows Server 2012 R2 (which is a VM allocated 6 high-priority CPU threads from the main 12 thread Intel server where the other VM's use the rest (minimal going on right now, basically shut down)) to the Google Drive drive was going at 3MB/s. I thought maybe the general disk speed was slow so I tested just duplicating a file in the root of the drive I was copying from and it was actually going at about 60MB/s+. Copying from a Samba share from a Ubuntu VM had similar results (~3MB/s to the virt drive, ~50MB/s to anywhere else).
I have tried this on version .463, .631 and .748 and it is identical results (though trying to resize a 100GB drive to 10TB using .463 would result in BSOD's of the PAGE_FAULT_BEYOND_END_OF_ALLOCATION variety. This was solved by deleting and purging the drive, installing .631 and recreating it).
I'm honestly out of ideas as to what could cause this as I've tried various different Allocation sizes, chunk sizes, etc, and they all have the same slow result.
On my home server, however, the file IO is normally ~80MB/s+, and copying to the virt drives goes at about ~12-13MB/s which isn't fast but it's bearable (with occasional boosts up to 20MB/s and sometimes even 40MB/s+). (The copy speeds are the same for both ACD and GDrive on both servers, so it is likely the encryption process if I had to make a guesstimate of the cause. Why or how to fix it, that I don't know!)
So my dilemma is that while I've got a great upload speed on my server (1Gigabit down, 250Mbit up), the copy speed is ^&*%$# (the moment there's enough data to upload, it's uploaded as the network speed is faster than the copy speed), and a crappy internet speed at home (20Mbit up), but it's copy speed is faster than the upload (currently sitting on 450GB in queue of test data but it's a slow process).
D:
As per ACD/GDrive policy of being able to read content, of course these cloud drives are always encrypted and it would be illogical/not an option for me to ever go the non-encrypted route.

Any help would be absolutely loved
