Any direction you can point me to? I have since switched to rclone for my backups but would love to have it work automatically through the UI.
I have tried searching the forums thoroughly but can not find much recently on google drive issues or even discussions on the beta now that it's released in public firmware.
Thanks for for any help or direction.

I've been trying to find a way to do this for a while now.
I've got about 800GB of data (170,000 files) I want to backup to my 1TB Gdrive on my ReadyNAS (2TB total data).
1) I've been trying to use Insync on a server-laptop to sync a network drive (on my ReadyNAS) with Google Drive, works great but... terrible upload speeds! So I stopped that. They're saying they're fixing this for years now.
2) I found that the ReadyNAS finally supports Google Drive, awesome!! but... terrible upload speeds (1-40KBytes/sec)
3) I'm running google drive from a local backup of my ReadyNAS data and syncing with Gdrive... works great with upload speeds at around 4MBytes/sec.
Ideally I let the ReadyNAS do everything but for now I just use the Google Drive program in Windows to backup from my local backup (as Google Drive is having problems with network drives somehow... can't write it's saying)
Best regards, Ray
