- Most Commonly Used
- Utilize Google GSuite for truly unlimited space
Highlighted Selections are the GDrive Editions
The GDrive Edition will display as such. You'll notice the type of edition that is selected and that (1) has the transport data menu; which is basically for your rclone and gdrive mounts! The GDrive Edition will most likely suit your needs due to lower costs (if you store tons of data). Remember, GSuite has a 14-day trial, so this will give you enough time to explore this option!
The GCE Feeder Edition is the same exact thing as the GDrive Edition, except that it utilizes a Google Virtual Machine Instance. If you paid attention, you may have noticed that Google gives offers you a $300 credit on their Google Cloud Console. Long story short, this edition deploy on their instance and sets everything up for you; including mounting the NVME drive that is associated with the instance. There are two ways of going about this; the difficult way and the easy way.

The use of multiple hds will display information in the two screenshots as such. When deploying the multiple HD's, IT DOES NOT utilize the current disk that your OS is installed. You may add it, but it is a bad idea. For example, if you have two additional drives; mergerfs will run the diskspace down on one drive until it reaches 10GB and then will start to fill the next disk! If you added your OS disk, MergerFS will fill your OS disk drive (which is bad) and with no space, it your system will crash. This setup requires that user understands some basics about the use of multiple disk and linux formatting usage. If you have questions, please visit us on the forums!

Next, you must setup your mountpoints or your HDs. You are responsible to mount your drives and have linux recognize it in the first place. We are unable to automate this portion. Please see the video for more information. If making any changes, please REDEPLOY mounts afterwards for the changes to take affect!
Ensure the mountpoint or drive exists!
Keep in mind that selecting the right edition from the start with proper planning makes life easier. You can always switch between the editions, but you will be responsible to migrate data as you see fit.
