Fill in Google Client Id & Client Secret

Of course, if you feel troublesome, you can directly press Enter and use RCLONE's own Client Id to generate the remote configuration.

However, this has drawbacks, Rclone officials also said.

Because the usage rate of ClientId and Client Secret is too high, many people are using them.

Google has a limited amount of traffic to each client application, what happens when a group of people use it in a crowd?Imagine for yourself (maximum traffic 750G per day).

• So, it is better to register the Google client Google Api yourself.
• Just take the carriage return, and you can modify and add later.

You first need to enterGoogle API CenterCreate a projectGet an API, select "Desktop Application" for the application type ▼

Google Application Client Id
Setting your own is recommended.
See https://rclone.org/drive/#making-your-own-client-id for how to create your own.
If you leave this blank, it will use an internal key which is low performance.

How do I map Google Disks to folders?

Rclone is a command-line tool that supports syncing, uploading and downloading data between different object stores and web drives.

And through some settings, very practical functions such as offline download and server backup can be realized.

There are many ways to use Rclone, and mounting is one of them.

Things to noteMounting is not required.As an experimental feature, it has many limitations and issues.After mounting, it cannot be used as a real disk.When performing file operations, the local disk is used for caching, that is, local disk space is occupied.

Improper use may also cause problems such as disk full and VPS stuck.Searching for "Rclone" on Google, the most relevant keyword is "mounting", which has misled many new friends to a certain extent.In order to stabilize upload, download, synchronization and other operations, it is recommended to use the native command function of Rclone.

Mounting requires installation fuse, choose the installation command according to your system:

# Debian/Ubantu
apt-get update && apt-get install -y fuse
# CentOS
yum install -y fuse

Mount Google Drive

Mounting the network disk is divided into manual mounting and automatic booting, and you can choose according to your own needs.

Mount manually

#挂载
rclone mount <网盘名称:网盘路径> <本地路径> [参数] --daemon

#取消挂载
fusermount -qzu <本地路径>

Find a comfortable location to create an empty folder, will the mkdir command work?Don't need to teach?

Create a new local folder, the path is determined by yourself, that is, the following LocalFolder ▼

mkdir /home/gdDisk/

# 挂载为磁盘，下面的DriveName、Folder、LocalFolder参数根据说明自行替换
rclone mount DriveName:Folder LocalFolder --copy-links --no-gzip-encoding

# 例如：
rclone mount gdrive:VPS /home/gdDisk \
--no-check-certificate \
--no-gzip-encoding \
--copy-links \
--umask 0000 \
--default-permissions \
--allow-non-empty \
--allow-other \
--transfers 1 \
--buffer-size 64M \
--low-level-retries 200 \
--dir-cache-time 12h \
--vfs-read-chunk-size 32M \
--vfs-read-chunk-size-limit 1G


# 对部分参数解释一下
DriveName：就是之前用rclone创建remote的名称
Folder：自己定，也可以不改。凡是rclone上传的文件都会在该谷歌团队盘的下一个名为“Folder”的文件夹里
LocalFolder：本地的绝对路径 比如 /home/gdDisk

# 如果涉及到读取使用，比如使用H5等在线播放，就在后面多加上以下三条参数
--dir-cache-time 12h
--vfs-read-chunk-size 32M
--vfs-read-chunk-size-limit 1G

# 优化参数
--transfers：该参数是最大同时传输任务数量，如果经常传输大文件，或CPU性能不佳，建议设置为单线程，也就是设置为“1”
--buffer-size：该参数为读取每个文件时的内存缓冲区大小，控制rclone上传和挂载的时候的内存占用
--low-level-retries：该参数为传输文件没速度的时候重试次数，没速度的时候，单个会自动睡眠10ms起，然后再重试
-n = --dry-run - 测试运行，用来查看 rclone 在实际运行中会进行哪些操作。
-P = --progress - 显示实时传输进度，500mS 刷新一次，否则默认 1 分钟刷新一次。
--cache-chunk-size SizeSuffi - 块的大小，默认5M，理论上是越大上传速度越快，同时占用内存也越多。如果设置得太大，可能会导致进程中断。
--cache-chunk-total-size SizeSuffix - 块可以在本地磁盘上占用的总大小，默认10G。
--transfers=N - 并行文件数，默认为4。在比较小的内存的VPS上建议调小这个参数，比如128M的小鸡上使用建议设置为1。
--config string - 指定配置文件路径，string为配置文件路径。
--ignore-errors - 跳过错误。比如 OneDrive 在传了某些特殊文件后会提示Failed to copy: failed to open source object: malwareDetected: Malware detected，这会导致后续的传输任务被终止掉，此时就可以加上这个参数跳过错误。但需要注意 RCLONE 的退出状态码不会为0。

After entering the mount command in the terminal and pressing Enter, many people thought they were stuck.

It's not actually because the loader is running in the foreground.

At this time, open a terminal or ssh and enter the command to check whether the mapping is successful ▼

df -h

You can see the Google Drive you have mounted, the size is 1PB ▼
