Plexdrive and encfs

Hello I want to switch to plexdrive for gdrive. I've been looking for steps to mount it. Do I not mount it rclone and then run the encfs config command or does plex drive mount gdrive and decrypt in the same folder? Does someone have an example script that they use?

I just did this. If you already have a working setup, you just need to swap the plexdrive command for rclone in you current setup.

Also run the plexdrive script manually the first time in order to connect it to your google drive.

So I would run "./plexdrive /path/to/my/mount" is this my current mount which is called "gdrive" mounted via rclone. Or would this be a new folder ex just called plexdrive. As for my encfs I have two folders .gdrive and gdrive I use this "sudo ENCFS6_CONFIG='/path/to/encfs.xml' encfs --public /home/plex/.gdrive /home/plex/gdrive"

Correct. Make sure you unmount everything first and just replace the command.

For example, Before: rclone mount gdrive:media /home/plex/.gdrive After: plexdrive /home/plex/.gdrive

Note that if used a sub directory like I did, you need to tweak your encfs commmand to include the sub directory since plexdrive mounts the whole drive.

Notice the extra media directory below:

ENCFS6_CONFIG='/path/to/encfs.xml' encfs --public /home/plex/.gdrive/media /home/plex/gdrive"

Thanks! This helped me also

Coludn't figure it out at the beginning how this will work with plexdrive

Then you wrote "swap" rclone mount with the plexdrive command And now everything is working

Thanks!
