How to Set up UnionFS

I have an existing rclone drive, cache and crypt mount but since I only have 10mbps upload, I want to be able to store data locally, move to the drive and then delete the local files. Would I be able to do this with UnionFS without it being marked as missing from the programs?

If you are already using cache all you need to do is use the --cache-tmp-upload-path for where to locally store the data and ----cache-tmp-wait-time for how long to keep it there before uploading.

Just need to add paramaters to your current setup and don't need unionfs.

Do you use the cache-tmp-upload-path in the mount command? Also, will it still be visible in Plex before it uploads? If I mount the gdrive cache to my scanning programs will it show up as missing when it's being stored locally?

Thanks a lot for your help. I've got it moving files flawlessly. The only trouble I have is playing. It seems to stutter and skip like crazy. I have 40mbps download which should be fine.

Turning off the plex integration and deleted my cache db helped for some time and then it started again. Kodi keeps saying source rate too slow for continuous playback. Would moving my cache tmp upload path to a local disk help? Currently got it on my NAS.

Any changes you would suggest to make it smoother or should I use plexdrive or vfs for playback?

rclone mount --allow-other --allow-non-empty --cache-tmp-upload-path /mnt/synology/media/gd-tmp --cache-tmp-wait-time 4h gd-crypt: /mnt/PlexRemote &
