If you make a lot of changes, the Dropbox sync works. Google drive or OneDrive choke in a variety of situations.
The product sucks in lots of other ways.

Google forced the new Google Drive client on me...
On my M1 Mac it crashes constantly and the Finder pops up Google Drive disconnect dialogues constantly.
Two days into finally relenting and giving the update from Backup & Sync to the new Drive client another try, it's still churning through my files!
It may never finish at this rate it constantly crashes!
Google Drive on M1 macOS is bad. Really bad. :-/
More that it crashes constantly!
It could be the volume of files it's churning through. But still... 'cmon Google!
If I use new Drive with my personal account, that only has ~200 or so files. Then no real issues.
However, when I tell it to sync to a Google Drive account that has ~200k files.... then it chokes.
I'm also telling it to download the files and store them on an external SSD, so they can be backed up by a 3rd party service!
With a large number of files, the new Drive client isn't having a good day! :-)
There is nothing like changing an excel file, having it correctly modified locally but still seeing the old data in a linked PowerPoint because OneDrive didn't update.
It also managed to lose me a day of work once despite having saved the file regularly. None of my modifications were properly synched to the history.
I also hate how it pauses itself when I'm sharing my phone connection and tends to struggle when I restart it.
I used to really dislike Google Drive before my company migrated but between that and the abysmal outlook search I really miss Google.
I do not know if this is still the case nowadays.
