I set up CloudDrive and mapped it to my unlimited Google Drive. I've been playing around with it for the past week and have some questions. Before I back up all of my Linux ISOs (with encryption on) I started with just my main PC backup and Plex Metadata.
I am copying this content over via a Robocopy script from my PC to the CloudDrive. I am only copying about 200gb of data, but my internet usage shows I have used 8x that over the week. When I look at CloudDrive it shows a lot of data downloading. I am confused why anything would be downloading to my PC if I am just uploading copies from my PC to the CloudDrive.
I originally had my cache set to 10GB, but lowered it to 1GB. I thought this may have been causing the extra data usage, but I am still getting almost constant download. I am not reading anything from the drive.
Am I not understanding how CloudDrive works? At this time I would like to upload a few TB worth of data and don't have any intent to download this data for use unless I have a drive failure. I have not messed with any of the advanced settings.
