Hi I'm kind of new to this product and I think I've got things setup decently but I'm having some issues.
Pretty much the only thing the cloud drive regularly is plex. so I'll put that out there off the bat. Streaming off of the cloud drive has been working perfectly. I haven't had any hiccups there even remotely streaming a file I know is on the clouddrive.
I find pretty much daily I either run into a bunch of errors being displayed in the upper left hand corner of the app or to be being disconnected from my google drive. Hitting retry when I notice its disconnected it connects up without issue. As far as I can tell my internet connection is fairly solid and not flaky (speed 135/55). I've made sure my router isn't scheduled to restart over night etc. I don't currently have reason to believe I'm dropping my network connection yet.
I did have daily plex library scans turned on and I've got that turned off as of this morning to see if that makes a difference over night. However I was under the impression that cloud drive respects Googles API limits and backs off exponentially. I'm not too worried about things taking a long time to say scan during a library update in plex. More concerned that some action is causing it to be dropped and having to manually reattach the drive.
I'm having troubles reading the logs because the time stamps don't seem to be in my time zone which is making it hard to line up with events that occur on my pc or if I have the logging level set high enough to help. Currently have the google side of things set to warning.
0:36:25.8: Warning: 0 : [ioManager:51] Error performing I/O operation on provider. Retrying. The download quota for this file has been exceeded.
0:36:27.0: Warning: 0 : [ApiGoogleDrive:37] Google Drive returned error (downloadQuotaExceeded): The download quota for this file has been exceeded.
I'm not sharing files with anyone directly from my google drive. The only thing that currently accesses it is plex. The error provided from google seems like its attempting to download the same block over and over again but I could be wrong. When I do notice the lines in the log (which might be well after unfortunately) I don't seem to have a drive ban or being locked out.
I'm using a small local cache because the data retrieved from the connection is unlikely to be accessed a second time. Aka playing completely random things off of plex. Its unlikely I'm going to watch the exact same thing twice regularly . I'm assuming it will have to stream and pre cache on the fly AKA I have bandwidth to burn. I can bump the cache size up without issue I just didn't because I didn't think I'd see an improvement if things are unlikely to be "played" twice.

Thanks!!! So far besides this hiccup i'm very impressed with your product here!

What I'm seeing when I check the service log:
I'm using a small local cache because the data retrieved from the connection is unlikely to be accessed a second time. Aka playing completely random things off of plex. Its unlikely I'm going to watch the exact same thing twice regularly . I'm assuming it will have to stream and pre cache on the fly AKA I have bandwidth to burn.
