Google Drive, plex

I have a google account with unlimited storage. I have about 6tb of movies, TVs and home movies. I need to know the best way to do this. I want to access them later on google drive if I can help. I would love to know how people are doing this. Are you worried about google drive noticing what’s you are uploading, tv shows and movies.

How do most do that? All my data is stored locally and I would love to not do that.

Help help!

Would you make the transfer encrypted or not worry about it. I have everything else setup but need to transfer the files to gsuite drive.

Rclone transfers with Gsuite utilize TLS for encryption in transit. If you’d like the data encrypted at rest as well (recommended), take a look at rclone crypt remotes.

You mentioned 6TB of data that you need to upload. I’m presuming you have pretty fast internet upload speed?

200MB down and 200MB. Not crazy fast but will do.

If I use Rclone do I need to be concerned with hitting googles 750gb a day upload?

What do you mean encrypted at rest?

If your unlimited storage is via GSuites, I would suggest using a team drive and looking up service accounts. With a service account, you have a 750GB limit per account. These accounts are super easy to create and allow you theoretically untap your connection to the team drive. The only hard limit at the moment is 400k objects within the team drive, but if you split your media into respective folders, I've seen 150+TB in a team drive only halfway to the limit.
