Archive data via rclone limiting the bandwidth
This rsync command will archive one folder to another without consuming more than 5MB/s of your bandwith
Archiving a large media library to the cloud can easily saturate your connection if you let it run unrestricted, so capping the transfer speed keeps the rest of your network usable while it works in the background.
rclone copy -c -v \

/volume1/media/torrents GDrive1Crypt:/if you need to target directly a subfolder of your mounted GDrive1Crypt, replace GDrive1Crypt:/ by GDrive1Crypt:your-folder-name.
Leave it running overnight or throttled during the day, either way your bandwidth stays predictable for everything else on the network.
