Implement the use of team drives / service accounts to surpass 750 GB Gsuite Biz upload limit?

[Soaringswine]

Hi, I know rclone can utilize something like PG Blitz (https://plexguide.com/news/wiki/pg-blitz-instructions/) or Supertransfer2 (https://plexguide.com/wikis/supertransfer2/) to bypass Gsuite Business's 750 GB / daily upload limit, could this be implemented in Clouddrive or would it be too much work?

It looks like this is using multiple accounts to bypass the limit.... 

And if that's the case, then get multiple accounts, create multiple drives, and pool them together.

To add on this, keep in mind that team drives have a hard limit of 400,000 files or folders and can only be nested to 20 layers of directories. I don't think the 20 layer limit would affect CloudDrive much, but the 400,000 file limit would cause issues as your drive grows, I'd imagine.

Yeah, the 400,000 file limit would impose hard limits on the size, based on the storage chunk size, so it would be an issue.

Also, you can't mount the drives at multiple locations, either.

Can you expand on this statement, specifically on the "pool them together"? Creating multiple accounts is not a problem, and the ability to upload more than 750 gb/day for not a large increase in my cost with more gsuite accounts is VERY appealing.

Pretty sure what Christopher meant was to get a copy of Stablebit Drivepool, so you can take multiple Clouddrive drives and combine them into a single larger volume.  It makes multiple disks look like one larger disk, and works seamlessly with Clouddrive.

Just updating to say that this works extremely well. I've uploaded almost 35 TB in 8 1/2 days with no issues. This is great software.

Glad to hear it Cekkent.

Yes, that's what I meant (sorry for not being clear!).

 

And glad to hear that it's working well!
