If you are an avid seedbox user, here is another option for automatic uploads to google drive.
There are many ways of achieving this, including a cronjob.
I like this option, as it only runs rclone when a torrent completes.

Using inotifywait to watch for file system events, we look out for primarily the ‘move’ event.
When your torrent completes, it moves the completed torrent into the completed folder.
When this event takes place, when then execute rcopy.sh

Setup rclone and scripts

mkdir ~/bin
cd ~/bin
wget https://downloads.rclone.org/rclone-v1.38-linux-amd64.zip
unzup rclone-v1.38-linux-amd64.zip
mv rclone*/* .

rscreen.sh

#!/bin/bash -x

ScSess=$(screen -ls)

if [[ $ScSess == *"No Sockets found"* ]]; then
  killall -9 rclone
  rm -rf ~/bin/rcopy.sh.lock
  screen -dmS rwait ~/bin/rwait.sh 
else
  exit
fi

rwait.sh

#!/bin/bash -x

COMPLETED_TORRENTS=~/private/deluge/completed/

while true; do
  inotifywait -r -e modify,attrib,move,close_write,create,delete,delete_self $COMPLETED_TORRENTS
  ~/bin/rcopy.sh
done

rcopy.sh

#!/bin/bash -x
#!/bin/bash -x

COMPLETED_TORRENTS=~/private/deluge/completed/

if [ -f "~/bin/rcopy.sh.lock" ]; then
  exit
else
  touch ~/bin/rcopy.sh.lock
  ~/bin/rclone --config=~/.config/rclone/rclone.conf --verbose --transfers=8 copy "$COMPLETED_TORRENTS" "google:/unsorted/"
  rm -f ~/bin/rcopy.sh.lock
fi

Permissions and PATH

Once you have setup the 3 scripts, make them executable

Permissions

chmod +x ~/bin/*

If ~/bin is not in your path, then add it and reload your shell

Edit Path

echo "PATH=~/bin:\$PATH" >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc

Finally you run the main script in a cronjob

Finalize and run in the background

Screen session

*/1 * * * * /media/sdf1/feeditout/bin/rscreen.sh >/dev/null 2>&1
