I have a collection of ebooks(8 GB atm) that i want to backup to google drive. It usually takes me 2-3 hrs to upload a 2 GB zip file(containing only the most important documents and files).
Tried to upload my ebooks, left it for 12 hrs and it still hasn’t uploaded. Thought maybe its because i am using Rclone shared client ID(heavily rate limited ), so i set up my own client ID and tried again and its been 3 hrs and still hasn’t upload
I am realizing now that its probably has nothing to do with rclone but rather my internet speed, specifically my upload speed(download 15-30 mps & upload 5-8 mps).
So i am wondering if anyone has solutions for people in countries with abysmal internet speeds.


Had forgotten about split archives. 7z also helps, e.g. if one wants to split into 500 MB files recursively, the person can use in Linux
7z a -r -v500m /some/path/some_name.7z /path/with/all/files/, and in Windows iirc right click in the folder > 7-Zip > Add to archive… > configure as you need
