I use CloudDrive as part of my backup solution, and want to expand that to using multiple cloud services for redundant backups.
To do this, I created three 2GB ReFS Cloud Drives (maximum that any one service I have supports) and then pooled them together with DrivePool, setting duplication to 3.
The issue I am running into is that I can only store ~900MB of data (~45% of the total capacity) on this pool as the remaining 55% is filled with "other" data.
I know that 2GB is not a lot of storage to begin with, but it's sufficient to store everything that I need, while 900MB is not.
I understand that there are file system overheads, but if I mount the drives individually, I'm still only seeing ~900MB disk space used on each drive.

Is there anything which can be done about this?
