Investigate a Fully rclone Solution #4

Closed masonr closed 7 years ago

masonr commented 7 years ago

Look into using rclone copy instead of the gdrive cli.

Would make the setup and running of the scripts much simpler. This alone makes it worth re-evaluating rclone copy vs gdrive upload.

As noted by another user, using own client/application id for rclone will reduce the throttling of API calls and download speeds.

After further evaluation, rclone copy achieves about the same upload speeds (slightly slower in some cases) as the gdrive cli tool. The slightly suboptimal speeds are acceptable since the elimination of the gdrive cli dependency will make the scripts much simpler.

Moving forward with implementing rclone copy over gdrive upload.
