Google Drive is way shittier than Google Backup & Sync used to be!

its not supposed to be. If you can get your files out easily you wont stay long.

Don't use GDrive/OneDrive/MEGA/Dropbox. They're just all falvours of terrible.

Use your own syncing using syncthing or git-annex. Don't let other people be responsible for your data.

Duplicity is a great backup solution too

It stopped syncing on my Windows PC multiple times now, with me having to re-install, re-configure and re-sync everything. It is not reliable and as of now, it stopped working on my Mac, due to it not having the most recent updates.

I kinda start hating google.
