They’ve used google-drive-ocamlfuse to mount the drive in Linux, which if I recall correctly is direct access, rather than the way it works in Windows

No they didn’t. They used rclone and mounted Google drive in vfs-cach mode which means it’s firstly written to the drive before it’s synced to the cloud

So, if they did use a direct storage mode connection instead of this cache method with a Gbit+ Internet connection, do you think it would be faster than swap on an HDD?
