I would like to keep a local copy of a certain folder on my Google Drive. I am looking for a better way to do a two-way sync.

 

Currently, I have Resilo Sync running in a docker and on my laptop so when it notices a change on either the Unraid Share or Google Drive it syncs them. This works well when I am at home and bandwidth isn't really an issue, but seems very wasteful and slow when I am not at home. 

 

Since I have Google Drive Mounted with RClone on unraid it would seem to me far better to manage all this on one machine so if a file is added/removed/amended on the Unraid Share it will update Google Drive Mount and vice versa. However, I can't figure out anyway to achieve this.

 

I would like it to be automatic and instant no an hourly script or whatever and I want it to be two-way (it's not a backup solution that's handled differently).

 

Resilio would be ideal but it can't sync to shares on the same machine. I thought about running a VM with Resilio and Resilio in a docker, I might give this a go if there's no other way.

 

rclone is the typical solution for that

Thanks. I looked into that. Some of the downsides are:

 

Bisync for 2 way syncing is still experimental

It doesn't monitor for changes it have to be run periodically

When it does run it takes ages to check for differences.
