I scrolled back and found what I think is your current service file and made some modification, please try this:
[Unit]

AssertPathIsDirectory=/mnt/plexdrive

[Service]
Type=simple
User=username
Group=username
ExecStart=/usr/bin/plexdrive -v 2 -o allow_other --uid=1000 --gid=1000 --config=/home/username/.plexdrive /mnt/plexdrive
ExecStop=/bin/fusermount -uz /mnt/plexdrive
Restart=on-abort
[Install]
WantedBy=default.target
Then using, sudo journalctl -fu plexdrive.service make sure that cache building is done before accessing the mount point

Hmm. For whatever reason, it didn’t seem to like that.

You user (username) probably needs more than read only access to that folder (/mnt/plexdrive)
For me, I make my user owner of the folder, sudo chown -R username:username /mnt/plexdrive
Also, remove the lines
User=username
Group=username
with the --uid & --gid their not needed
and what is returned by whereis plexdrive ? Does is show plexdrive in /usr/bin/ ?

Ok, I did that:
sudo chown -R username:username /mnt/plexdrive
su
cd /mnt
ls -l
drw-r--r-- 2 username username 4096 Jun 21 18:10 plexdrive
exit
Unfortunately, I still have the errors.

I’d like to think it’s something simple but I don’t know what it is. I really appreciate your assistance though.
Did you see this as well?

Sorry totally missed those due to not refreshing the page before responding. Let me check those things out.

I’ve removed those and once I saw your second question, I knew that it was in /usr/sbin in my previous script version. I corrected that and here is the error now after reloading the daemon and restarting the plexdrive.service:

One thing to possible check… is plexdrive in:
usr/bin/local/plexdrive
Or
Usr/bin/plexdrive
Is fusermount in /bin ?

Thank you for your reply. It’s in /usr/sbin/. That’s where the original guide I followed said to copy rclone, so I just followed suit for continuity.
@hthighway said:

username@bellator:/$ whereis fusermount
fusermount: /bin/fusermount /usr/share/man/man1/fusermount.1.gz
Ok…
In /etc/fuse.conf have you uncommented user_allow other ?
Remove the # in front of it.
OK after reading KeekUras’s posts I decided to check on how my MongoDB is running/setup. I’ve come to the conclusion that something is not right and I’m thinking that it has something to do with the MongoDB setup.
Plexdrive does appear to work but I have noticed very high CPU usage. Plexdrive is mounted to /mnt/plexdrive and when I ls that folder I can see the contents of my Google Drive. Pointing the PlexServer to the media folder within this does allow me to play content but as I said the CPU usage is high and the time to buffer up to play and seek times are not great.
If I run the $plexdrive command I get the regular output but at the end of this it states
panic: Mountpoint not specified
Unfortunately I have cobbled together my install from a number of sites and I think I have missed certain things. For example I don’t think that I initially ran the command below which is from the Installation section on https://github.com/dweidenfeld/plexdrive
./plexdrive -m localhost /path/to/my/mount
Should I run this now? and would I simply unmount /mnt/plexdrive and then run
$plexdrive -m localhost /mnt/plexdrive
Can someone give me some directions on how to reinstall MongoDB correctly
I followed the directions on this page https://chooseneye.com/2017/06/install-plexdrive-on-debian-8/
– First
$apt-get install fuse mongodb
– Setup MongoDB
– First login into mongo and create the PlexDrive Database.
$mongo
$use plexdrive
$exit
I don’t think that has installed Mongo correctly.
When I run
$sudo mongo
I get the following output
nodeuser@ssdnodes-server1:~$ sudo mongo
MongoDB shell version: 2.6.10
connecting to: test
Server has startup warnings:

Gave that a go, same errors persist.
I hate to be that guy but what things have you done to secure your server? I love that you are learning but I am also kinda scared about what you might have running wild out there. Feel free to pm me and I can give you a few simple tips to make your server more secure.
And I also have plexdrive working. And I also think you are going about this the entirely wrong way. Actually, it looks like everyone is doing things the wrong way. I don’t even know where to start.
Step one… Get it working in a screen session. Do not try setting it as a service until it works in screen.
Question to the pros whether such a server would be sufficient
Intel® vCore
4 GB DDR3 RAM (ECC)
4 vCores
80 GB SAS
Is 80GB enough for Plex, plexdrive, possible transcoding?
@Coxeroni said:

I only have 20GB storage on my VPS and ~20 000 episodes use ~7GB. The remaining 13GB are plenty even for “4k” transcoding.
So unless you have 200 000+ episodes in your library 80GB will be sufficient.
My concern wouldn’t be the transcoding, but rather growth space for the Plex database.
