Not sure exactly what's happening, but I am currently experiencing a very problematic issue with CloudDrive.
For the context, I have 5 mapped CloudDrive, averaging about 2TB each, used only for backup purposes. They are all connected to my G-Suite unlimited account. My cache drive is my C drive (500GB SSD), which without its cache usage, is a little less than half full, so about 280GB free for the CloudDrive cache.
For a reason that I do not understand, CloudDrive fills my C drive with cache, even when I am not transferring anything (no upload, but no download as well). Since a couple of days/weeks (sorry, hard to tell), I constantly get messages from Windows telling me that my C drive is full. Not near full, but really full, as in 0 bytes left. So I need to shutdown everything, restart the computer and voila, all data is now free again, 280GB of free HD space. I also tried to shutdown my Stablebit services, and as soon as I do, the free space is back.
I did see a topic on the forum about some sort of caching issue, but to be honest, it was a little too technical for me and I could not understand if it was the same issue or not. If this is related and has no possible resolution, then I have bought Stablebit for nothing since I cannot continue using a software that fills up my C drive on a daily basis. Hopefully, it's not.
The only culprit I can think of is that my Plex Server is currently connected to one of these CloudDrive, so scans might be happening on that data. That is the only usage I can think of. I will try to see if I can disable scans on that one specific library connected to my CloudDrive, and see if it happens again. Does this make sense? Could a scan of a large drive with tons of files be enough to jam a Cloudrive cache?
Currently using the latest CloudDrive build on a Win7 Enterprise PC.
