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

My mistake, they chose a different implementation

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?

I can't imagine a time when anyone would ever make a cloud swap drive. You want the swap to be as fast as possible
