The cloud drive is mounted inside a virtual machine for security purposes as the binary is proprietary and I do not want to mount it on the host (bwrap and the like introduce a whole lot of problems, the drive doesn’t sync anymore and I have to relogin each time). I do not use the virtual machine per se, I just start it and leave it be.

I have no idea how it is mounted (how can I find out?) because the binary is proprietary. This is why it is contained inside a virtual machine.

That would be impossible since the cloud drive is 2TB and my physical storage space is under 500GB in size.

The cloud drive is mounted on the guest, yes, but once I mount it with virtiofs in order to share it with the host it gets unmounted and I end up with an empty folder. bind doesn’t work either.

I can try but I might end up in the same situation as with virtiofs. The cloud drive will get unmounted and I will end up with an empty folder when I try to access it from the host.

The cloud binary is proprietary and it’s not supported by rclone unless I find out how the binary works but I doubt it uses something standardized like WebDAV underneath.

Then I will try NFS and get back to you. Thanks :)

I just checked and it is mounted as a fuse drive.

do you know how to use strace?

A very confident NO :)

do you have to provide a username/password or token when you try to access the drive now?

I do but it’s through the proprietary GUI of the binary which has no CLI or API I can use.

It does not, hence my question.
