I switched from Dropbox to Nextcloud, and within a couple of months from Nextcloud to Google Drive. Really didn't like the software and it was so slow since I wasn't self-hosting it, but renting it from Hetzner.
Currently thinking of switching from Google Drive to Syncthing, since the new Google Drive clients suck and Google is going to be making my service worse with the new G Suite changes.
- cma 5y agoThe new Google Drive client is horrible with lots of files. It is doing something very wrong in its sqlite database and completely killing performance of the drive where AppData lives, even if the Google drive folder is on a different disk.
- ricktdotorg 5y agocan confirm this exact behaviour. its supposed to do intelligent caching/streaming but as mentioned in parent, my DriveFS %APPDATA% filled up with hundreds of GB of temp files. had to uninstall, deltree, reinstall to fix. bit of a pain.
