I have a collection of ebooks(8 GB atm) that i want to backup to google drive. It usually takes me 2-3 hrs to upload a 2 GB zip file(containing only the most important documents and files).

Tried to upload my ebooks, left it for 12 hrs and it still hasn’t uploaded. Thought maybe its because i am using Rclone shared client ID(heavily rate limited ), so i set up my own client ID and tried again and its been 3 hrs and still hasn’t upload

I am realizing now that its probably has nothing to do with rclone but rather my internet speed, specifically my upload speed(download 15-30 mps & upload 5-8 mps).

So i am wondering if anyone has solutions for people in countries with abysmal internet speeds.

    Sounds like you need a client that does “multiparty uploads”. Meaning interruptions should continue if there is a break in comms.

    All the Cloud endpoints support this, you just need a better client. Do some research I guess.
