I'm very interested in getting a license for both CloudDrive and Drivepool, but I have a couple questions on how the software would work with my setup.
I have a dedicated windows server, for over 2 years I've been using it with as my media streaming platform, but as of recently free space started to run out and so I began looking for any potential method to increase my storage, I found out about Gsuite and .edu accounts and now I'd like to to use the cloud as my main storage for future files. I own 1 legit .edu account (from my Uni) and other 3, which I bought.
Now what I'd like to do is link one of the fake .edu accounts with Plex and keep the others as a backup in case the main one's domain is closed by google (each account is from a different vendor and has a different domain), now you may ask why wouldn't you use your legit .edu account, the thing is in 1 year I should graduate and I'm not sure if i'll be allowed to keep using the account, also i've read online some university may require the student to delete some data if they notice the space used is too much.
CloudDrive seems like a perfect solution for my needs, but I have 2 doubts, I'd like to be cleared:
1) In case I want to change machine, is it possible to create a virtual drive on it by linking the old google drive? If so how would that work?
2) Would it be possible to upload the files through CloudDrive on my main drive account and then copy those files over to other drive accounts? This way if some account gets banned I don't have to upload many TBs of data again to the new .edu account I'd buy (which wouldn't be an issue if there wasn't the 750Gb daily cap).
