Noticed that some seedboxes have disabled SSH access such as seedbox.io
Is there any way to use rclone/install an alternative to transfer out content to a cloud drive?

Shell access is usually enabled in all seedboxes (or most seedboxes). What is not enabled is root access and that's why you cannot install what you need.
You might raise a ticket with your provider explaining what you need and why and they might install it for you

What cloud drives were you thinking of using? I wonder if you could set up a cron job to automate some of this too.Quote:

@hellogoodbye Gdrive biz sounds promising. Unlimited storage sounds too good to be true. I wonder if there are bandwidth limitations. I will give it a shot and report back.
@hellogoodbye So I setup the Gdrive biz account. I now have Plex pass. I'm trying to figure out how to add the cloud account to the library.
@mac011 How is it going? Did you manage to configure it? Not sure if this will help https://github.com/dweidenfeld/plexdrive
Read somewhere that the daily limits are 750GB upload and 10TB download
@mac011 Another option is to stream using Infuse Pro or any other video player app that has gdrive support
@hellogoodbye I was able to set it up today. Actually, I didn't need any extra software to get it working. I'm only using Drive File Stream. It's awesome how it works. When you add files to the drive, it stores them temporarily on your local drive. Once it finishes uploading the files to the Gdrive, it deletes the temporary files. This way you don't have local copies on your system.Quote:

I've uploaded 600GB so far today.
Thanks. I'll check that out too. I have access to the disk across all my devices. And it's working great with Plex. Keep in mind that I have a server up 24/7 that is communicating with my Gdrive.Quote:

@hellogoodbye Well one thing I learned is that you do not have unlimited storage. They give you 1 exabyte.
I have not tried seeding from it. I am afraid that if I did so it might raise red flags.
I am also curious if the data can be encrypted. It would hate if someone could snoop through my data.
@mac011
Didn't know there's a 1 exabyte limit but for most users its close to "unlimited"
Don't think its a good idea to seed from it, might breach TOS and hit API limits
https://rclone.org/crypt/ Rclone has an encrypt feature
If I'm not wrong, are you using drive file stream to download and reupload to gdrive?
Rclone would be able to sync/copy directly from the seedbox to the cloud storage
@hellogoodbye Yes. I am using the drive file stream app to download/upload. The app is available on PC and Mac.Quote:

@hellogoodbye Unfortunately they don't have a Linux version of Drive Stream. Since most servers run on Linux, you might be out of luck. Either way, having the ability to access the files from your computer is nice.
@mac011 https://rclone.org/install/
You can ask your seedbox provider for assistance in installing rclone, it requires SSH access and subsequent rclone commands such as setting up remote (cloud storage) and sync/copy all require the use of SSH. If you use a MAC, using the terminal application would suffice in sending the commands to the seedbox server.
Here are some instructions on setting up rclone:

Here are some instructions of setting up the remote:

It will take a bit of getting use to but it works really well once everything is configured.
@hellogoodbye Thanks for the pointer. I'll have a look.
