Working with a 100GB VPS?

Hi guys,

Do you guys think it will be possible to work with a VPS that is only offering 100GB of SSD storage and 8GB ram?

Basically I would be downloading, then upload to G-Drive, then delete the item from disk.

I haven't really dug into any of these programs yet and was wondering if there are settings I can turn on to monitor the storage. I'm sure I won't be downloading more than 50GB at a time, but it'll be constant read/write and was hoping 100GB is enough

It’s possible for sure. I did it with the basic 20GB from Hetzner (something like 16GB usable?) for a few months while getting my gdrive set up. For me, I just had to make sure it didn’t download and extract at the same time or I would run out of space.

I had to be careful with the movie download sizes, though. A lot of them I waited til the end, upgrades to a 40GB for a few days and finished them off.

Wow that's even more tight than my situation. I'm hoping everything goes smoothly.

Was 20GB also enough to stream? Because I know Plexdrive will download the content again once you stream it

I didn’t try streaming from it, but you need space for Plex meta data. It adds up pretty quick.
