Maximum size of a cloud drive is 10TB?

[RichardB]

Hey all, I am creating a drive using an SFTP server as a backup device, but I am hitting an issue. I have 16TB of space on the server, but the maximum size of drive I seem to be able to create is 10TB. I can't select any bigger option from the drop-down menu, and when I manually resize the drive to be larger, it just seems to ignore it. 

Is this a limitation of CloudDrive, of the connection or of the server? 

I guess I could just create a couple of drives and use DrivePool to fit them together, but I wanted to check before I start copying files over.

You have to type in 16tb

Ahh, I see. I did try manually increasing the size of the drive by typing in the number, but the size in the main program screen did not change. When I quit out of CloudDrive and re-opened it, the drive size was updated to the larger size. 

 

So, looks like that is a UI bug, not a file system or other one.

Oh yeah forgot about that part. I had that same issue last night. I am new to all of this . Maybe you can help me out. How do you access your cloud drive files if your computer crashes. Or what if I want to move the drive to another computer. I got the detaching down but the recover process I am kind of confused about.

Not sure on that one. Perhaps tech support will jump in and answer?

Pretty sure the largest is 256TB and it has to be manually typed in I believe.

You can get larger than that, but I wouldn't recommend anything about 64TBs, as NTFS cannot run CHKDSK passes on volumes larger than that.
