    Noob conversation about an advanced Seedbox setup

    I have been doing a lot of research into seedboxes lately and, as you all know, the internet is fraught with outdated/misguided information. But I have drawn up what I think could be an ideal situation for me. Is it possible to rent a Plex capable seedbox, set it up as a Plex server, then have the Plex server be backed up by Google Drive or OneDrive?

    In this scenario I would have a business account on Google/OneDrive with unlimited storage which would hold my Media Library. (All legitimate backups of my physical collection of course.) The media library could be encrypted to keep my embarrassing taste in movies private. Then I could stream, via Plex, my library to all my devices. Google/OneDrive -> seedbox -> device.
    My seedbox/plex server would handle all torrenting, and transcoding aspects. My Google/OneDrive would back up my media library, make it accessible at any hour, and have unlimited storage to boot. And my home network would hold my media library as well but would essentially be on easy street in terms of networking load, correct or no?

    I am definitely open to hearing any sort of technical advice and/or potential pitfalls that might help in making this dream a reality.

    Thanks for your help folks!

    Update: Just a heads up for anyone who wants to try this, yes, it is possible. But it requires a bit of coding to make it work. If you are not comfortable with command line then I would recommend that you learn some before attempting to create this setup. Even then be prepared to make some mistakes

    UltraSeedBox does pretty much everything you mentioned. They even have Emby and Jellyfin as stream server options as well, all with GPU power for even more efficient transcode ability.

    Their systems have rclone mounts enabled for streaming from gdrive and a great community on discord to help with setting it up if you're not familiar with ssh (coding as you referred to it lol) Their knowledge base guides are excellent to get anyone, even n00bies going.

    They are the go to standard for pretty much everything you mentioned, especially remote storage streaming, and so much more
