Fix Google Drive Quota, Rate Limit, and API Errors with RcloneView

Tired of userRateLimitExceeded, quotaExceeded, or random 429 responses? RcloneView gives Google Drive power users a GUI toolkit to predict, work around, and recover from API throttling without babysitting scripts.

Whether you are archiving media libraries, consolidating Shared Drives, or syncing MEGA into Google Workspace, everything eventually hits Drive’s limits:

  • 750 GB/day upload & copy quota per user
  • 5 TB maximum file size (non-Google Docs formats)
  • Burst-limited API calls (userRateLimitExceeded, rateLimitExceeded, 429)
  • Occasional backend hiccups (5xx, connection resets)

Instead of trial-and-error CLI runs, this guide shows how to keep jobs flowing through RcloneView’s Explorer, Scheduler, and diagnostics so every transfer resumes exactly where it left off.

Plex is only as smooth as the storage behind it. With RcloneView you can see, tweak, and monitor every setting required to stream 4K libraries from Google Drive, Dropbox, Wasabi, or S3 without pauses.

Plex buffering has multiple culprits—slow disks, underpowered VFS cache, aggressive scanners, or Google Drive throttling. RcloneView layers a GUI over rclone so you can mount clouds, dial in cache modes, and watch real-time throughput without memorizing flags. This article gives Plex admins a checklist to eliminate stutters and reclaim binge nights.
