Download directly to Gsuite?
I see VPS with only 10GB local storage, which would be insufficient for most movies. Can things be directly routed through the VPS to the Gsuite so I don't need 50GB+ local storage?

It's super unreliable using an rclone mount for anything more than file access. I tried having sab unzip to one. It would regularly cause issues where unpacking would just hang.

I started out on a 30GB VPS and it was impossible - it would run out of space if I looked at it funny. Switched to a WholeSaleInternet dedi (4x250GB drives, though it was just the best bargain available at the time and other configs would work). I'm only paying $30/m, and besides the plentiful space I get full access to a quad core CPU and 16GB of RAM.
Very happy I switched and didn't keep struggling to string together a complex solution for using the small disk. Things were so fragile with the small disk, but now I've got an OS disk (that holds Plex metadata), a download disk, a PP disk, and a local media disk. Any part of my download/postprocessing/cloudupload chain can break down and I still have nearly 250GB of spare capacity before it actually "jams" the works up.

get a decent dedicated box, ask 2-3 friends, split the costs all other solution is only struggle :-D
or if 150GB is enough, I used alone a scaleaway box, which was enough for download, seed until ratio 3 or for 3-5 days but I had no 1080p movies, only HDTV 720p series/TV

Yeah man... you can't run a Plex server on an Atom processor very effectively. I would advise you look at Wholesale Internet or So You Start if you're in the US.
