And all things being equal, for some reason, Dropbox syncing is much faster than Google Drive. If I empty out both drives and start from scratch, then put the same files in both, it seems to take Google Drive around 350% time to sync the same files.

Dropbox is a resource hog. Unless i want my windows machine to fireup on RAM, fan speed, hard disk usage and stall, I avoid running Dropbox in background. Onedrive works better for me!

  Are you on a mac? I have the same issue :( and only run Dropbox when I'm not engaged with my computer to let it do its thing. Saying that, as a paying customer, I still love Dropbox since it's sync quality & ease is outstanding. I'm also a fan of their Datastore API.

  Same here ! Microsoft's Onedrive has been surprisingly good for me - on Android as well.
