rClone + GoogLe Drive
I want to use rclone and mount google drive on Linux server and store my video content on google drive and serve them via http request, Basic things are working but need suggestion is that really work?
Im not sending to many HTTP requests to google drive, i will use also another server with cache and only hit a google drive file once and save them in cache and play them from cache server,
If someone is using rclone with google drive please help me,
Thanks

This is very simple to do. Just mount gdrive under /mnt/something
Then make a symlink : /mnt/something -> wwwdata/hello
Then u can hit gdrive files with yourdomain.com/hello
Ive done this for years.
Been doing this for years too with Plex, rclone is the tool for the job.

Google drive api have some restrictions thats why i need to ask. i know upload limit is 750gb per service account but my mostly concern is download limit, what if someone request a file from mounted google drive and drive deny that? this is only my guessing, hope u will share some more details about functionality and reliability

Mate, folks are running massive multi-user Plex servers off GDrive space, unless you have insane concurrency I doubt you'll have any problems.
This is why you do rclone + mergerFS setup with caching to reduce API calls towards google. It will be mounted as normal drive that way.
There are no other limits beyond 750 GB upload per day. If you intend to use less than 100TB space, encrypt with rclone. Otherwise leave unencrypted.
