[Windows] Setting up Rclone Browser & Rclone Mount
By Zack - December 22, 2019
Setting up Rclone Browser
- Download the 64 bit version of Rclone Browser
- Unzip the file in C:\\rclone once again
- Open the RcloneBrowser.exe file to load the software
- Click file>preferences at the top left
- For the rclone location: C:\\rclone\\rclone.exe
- For the .rclone.conf location: C:\\Users\\***username***\\.config\\rclone
- Check all of the options underneath
- Now that “gdrive” (your remote folder) has been populated at the top, click upload
- Select the “Source” from which you will be uploading – Mine is I:\\Plex Collection
- Enter the Destination of the upload – Mine is gdrive:/Plex Collection
- Because we created “Backup” as the root folder, Plex Collection (or whatever you name it) will fall underneath this folder on Google Drive
- Select the options that you would like, mine are:
- Sync Mode – Delete During Transfer
- Skip files that are newer on the destination
- Compare Size & mod-time
- Verbose output
- Click run to begin the uploading process
- COMPLETE
Setting up Rclone Mount
- Download WinFsp and select all of the options during installation
- Download the nssm tool
- Extract the 64-bit .exe and to your rclone folder
- Open CMD to your Rclone folder
- Type nssm install
- Type the following under Applications:
- Path: C:\\rclone\\rclone.exe
- Startup Directory: C:\\rclone
- Arguments: mount --allow-other --dir-cache-time 72h --drive-chunk-size 64M --log-level INFO --vfs-read-chunk-size 32M --vfs-read-chunk-size-limit off gdrive: X: --config "C:\\Users\\***username***\\.config\\rclone\\rclone.conf" --vfs-cache-mode writes
- Service Name: RcloneMount
- Under Exit type: 10000 ms, Select the Restart application setting
- Click Install Service
- Type nssm start RcloneMount
- COMPLETE (you should now have X:/ mounted like so)
- To Speed up the Mount:
- Right click the Mount gdrive (X:) → Properties → Customize → Optimze this folder for: Documents → Check "Also apply this template to all subfolders"
