I still use audiogalaxy to access my music on the go

At work this morning..... work PC says Google Drive's sync is complete. Doesn't have the most recent versions of documents I was working on last night. So much for one place to store and collaborate on things. Looks like I'll be going back to Dropbox with just about everything.

Google Drive is still awful. Installed it two weeks ago because we had a shared folder on it and I needed access. It's ****ing horrible still. Not only does it sync on it's own schedule rather than immediately, it prompts me every time I delete something on my desktop even though I'm not syncing my desktop and I have the delete warnings turned off. I uninstalled it again today. Even their web interface sucks. Paid Dropbox user. Google Drive shouldn't be as bad as it is.

I only use it to backup texts from my phone.

OneDrive (with 1TB storage) is good for me. At work, we get 5TB storage. WTF would I do with 5TB cloud storage?????

Honesty I've never had an issue with Google Drive but I don't often delete anything and only really use it to send files between my desktop and phone.

I'm finding Google Drive to not be as robust at syncing my machines as Dropbox is. I have a client that doesn't split tunnel VPN access and has pretty tight firewall rules. When I'm on VPN, Dropbox and Google Drive don't sync. When I get off VPN, Google Drive stays hung up longer than Dropbox. Really annoying when I'm trying to grab my laptop and continue working.

What is the clients reasoning for no split tunnel?
Some kind of TS/SCI stuff? Keeping viruses out?

Not sure, honestly. I found it really annoying. I assumed it was either ineptitude or they wanted to make sure the Indian subs weren't able to surf the web while working remotely. It made it impossible for me to print to my local network printer while on VPN. I ended up just working in a VM rather than fighting it it it. This was also the place that screwed us on payment at the end.
