  mounting a storage on a vps only works well if both are close to one another. for latency more than 50ms is not worth it unless you are just storing backup of your files from vps.

  In any case you can try either sshfs or rclone. Rclone seems to work faster than sshfs but the latter offers changing of permission which is essential for docker volumes.

  Thank you for explaining the Docker aspect. To confirm, if a Docker container sets a UID and GID other than the default $USER ownership, including root, it will create the files/folder safely with SSHFS?

  I think not possible with HostBrr as you don't have root access. For sshfs to work as root you definitely need root access on the other end as well

  Yes, it is cheap that's why. I managed to get it working, so thank you all for your suggestions

  If you did it with rclone, mind your VFS cache. Depending on your usecase, having a cache of up to 20GBs can improve shizz significantly. If you need help, ping me.

  Yes, I used rclone sftp.

  That would be great, what kind of settings do you use?

  Here is my service file for an encrypted rclone drive. The usecase for this drive is video streaming. You may need to delete some OneDrive specific stuff
