Unfortunately, Google Drive has quite serious issues for heavy users of file synchronization (the last time I tried it):
* It does not do chunked syncing. Change one bit of a 5GB file, it gets resynced completely.
* You cannot get a list of shared files/folders. You basically need to check sharing per file/folder by hand or write/use a Google Apps script (which is very slow).
* It does not support LAN sync. When I share large directories with colleagues on Dropbox, sync is very quick, because the transfers are just over the local network.
* The last time I tried, the Google Drive client regularly had problems syncing some files when syncing a very large set of files.
(* There is no first-party client for Linux.)
