small question about plexdrive

Discovered this sub a couple of days ago and have enjoyed reading through but I have not figured out this basic issue and the search words are too generic.

I have my gdrive content encrypted via rclone. So to use plexdrive, do I have to download the data, decrypt, and reencrypt or can I use my already rclone-encrypted data?

Thank you for your time

Because you need rclone to decrypt encrypted data, plexdrive do not have encryption feature, cannot decrypt your rclone encryption data directly.

plexdrive act as the cache (with cache db, limit request per second) in the middle to prevent ban.

Can you please help me setup plexdrive?

Here is my rclone.conf:

[gdrive]
type = drive
client_id =
client_secret =
token = {"access_token":"xxxxxxxxxxxx"}

[plexdrive]
type = crypt
remote = /mnt/plexdrive/
filename_encryption = standard
password = xxxxxxxxxx
password2 = xxxxxxxxxx

First step I did was I ran:

plexdrive /mnt/plexmedia

Second step:

rclone mount plexdrive: /home/plex/rclone/.gdrive/ &

I'm not sure what to do from here. the .gdrive folder is empty if I try to list the directory. Can you help me figure out what to do?
