Calibre lib on OneDrive using Linux
I've been using Dropbox and Calibre for years so I can have easy 24/7 access to books from anywhere. I have my actual library on my Linux Desktop, and when I modify it, I use rsync to do a one-way sync to my Dropbox folder, deleting anything not in my real folder. This worked great, and was quick and easy, because Dropbox supports Linux.
However, I'm reaching my limit, but have an unused 15GB OneDrive account I'd like to use. I installed rclone using the traditional way of mounting the OneDrive folder locally, but it seems to be very slow to use on my internet connection (250 mb/s down, 10 mb/s up).
This is when trying to use rsync to update. I haven't tried connecting Calibre directly, so it's possible this might be usable, but I don't really want it to be my only library, because I'm afraid I might lose data assuming it does a two-way sync (not sure about that).
I tried using rclone to sync the files after making a change, which seems to work although it's also a bit slow. But it does a one-way sync only, so I think it's safe.
So, I'm wondering if anyone has had experience with this, and can either confirm my findings, or give me ideas to improve the situation. I'd appreciate any ideas.
