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.

    Where will you be using this upload?

    If you’re doing it to make it accessible on your own devices from anywhere, try Syncthing on the various devices instead. If the devices are on the same LAN from time to time, your modem won’t be a bottleneck.

    If you still have the sources from which you originally acquired the books, you could use a VPS to re-acquire them, and then push them to the google drive directly from the VPS. They never pass through your modem; your modem can’t be the bottleneck.
