I wonder if you could create a block-level virtual filesystem backed by Google Drive so that you could store many small logical files in one physical remote "block" (file).

For about a decade, Dropbox was the only one to offer delta sync, OneDrive added that a few years ago, and they’re the only two IIRC that do delta syncing. The rest basically redownload & reupload.
