Upload speed about google-drive-ocamlfuse HOT 3 CLOSED

You should turn on verbose logging (-verbose option) and then open gdfuse.log and look for lines like these:

[17.122371] TID=0: flush /filename 0
Getting metadata from context...valid
Loading resource /filename (trashed=false) from db...found
Uploading file (cache path=/home/alex/.gdfuse/../cache/..., content type=...)...Refreshing remote resource (id=...,etag="...")...done
done
Updating resource in db (id=...)...done
Updating cache size (...) in db...done
Updating context...done
[21.922442]

From the timestamps, you should be able to measure pure upload speed. That's the speed of the Google endpoint for file upload. If that speed is lower than you expect, there is nothing that can be done (I'm using curl to upload the file, so there is no/little overhead). But if that speed is comparable to 10Mo/s, then you can try to increase metadata_cache_time (to 600 seconds, for example) to avoid checking for server side changes too frequently (you are uploading files, so these changes will be notified, invalidating your cache, and that takes time). You cannot compare my application with Google Drive Client, because it uses a non-public API.

Hi I have same problem with upload
Network speed 100/100 MB
Upload a iso file 400MB in speed of 134 kB/s

I have changed metadata_cache_time - this has no effect.

don't know what the... by such speed it's not usable. In upload by browser i is 100MB for that folder with the same file

Unfortunately Drive API + FUSE is not an ideal combination when you need fast uploads. Maybe you can try this other project: https://github.com/odeke-em/drive (doesn't use FUSE, so maybe has faster uploads).
