Personal advice: Spend one time 30$ on insync https://www.insynchq.com/ The Google Drive Sync application (which is internally python on Mac and Windows I heard) is horrible and a memory and cpu hog. Insync solved all my problems and with that software I could replace Dropbox.

BTW: Filipino guys engineered that. I'm proud that I have one piece of Filipino software running here :D

That looks really useful! Thanks for telling us about it. Although I have no personal connection to the country, tonight I will raise my beer glass in celebration of Filipino software development. :D

+1 for Insync, it just works, also allows multiple accounts and works on Linux, something I'm surprised still isn't offered officially by Google.

Yes, they should have bought Insync for a good amount of money give Insync for free to everybody. It just works as you said. I also had sync problems with certain file names on the official sync client. Insync just keeps working and I use it for 2 Google Accounts currently (one personal, one gsuite).
