Google Drive's desktop sync app is the worst piece of software I have used in recent memory. It simply can not sync large amounts of small files in any reasonable amount of time (hours and hours for 20GB of files on gigabit ethernet), will randomly leave things out from the sync with no explanation, and burn up 100% CPU the entire time. And if you move the sync folder it will re-sync from square one.


Sounds like OneDrive too though.... High CPU scanning for files. Between that and McAfee....
