I'm a fan of Amazon Drive. The native clients are nice with a clear interface, and have the option to simply upload files or directories once, without having to synchronize them in local directories. It's not immediately clear how to do this in Google Drive, which seems confused especially since they've split it into two different products already.
There's also been a persistent problem with the Google Drive native desktop client, where syncing files consumes 100% of your local CPU for hours (or days) as it syncs, a problem which Dropbox and Amazon Drive do not have.
- mcny 8y agoI wish Google built is own first party cli tools for Google drive. Sort of like rsync but with a Google flavor. I'm sure people would love it.
- aaomidi 8y agoThey definitely don't want people using it as a backup system. Their unlimited storage is useless because you can't actually use it properly. It saves them money.
- dvfjsdhgfv 8y agoI don't think Google cares whether people would love it or not, what counts is how much money they can get on it - in this case, zero.
