How to throttle Google Drive

by in General

So Google Drive’s price hits rock bottom killing everyone else, $2 for 100GB and $10 for 1TB monthly. Should I stay or should I go?

So I have explained before why Google Drive sucks, but now at this price the name of the game changes. So there were two blockers for me:
– No throttling which dropbox does brilliantly
– No LAN sync

Ok, so Google Drive is still a B product against the competition and can’t do LAN sync. But there is a way to do throttling. Not built in, but it lets me use Google Drive without being shot (kind-a) by IT

Get NetBalancer by SeriousBit. I am not affiliated with them in any way but they have a killer product!

You can throttle your processes
Limit

And check this out. This is instant gratification for a geek like me!
Monitor and throttle your bandwidth

It even has a very small gadget plus another one in the task bar just with the ups and downs.
Summary

Now only one thing pending, LAN sync! C’mon Google! Make it worth it!

One detail about LAN Sync: Nothing to do at this point. Google Drive is even so dumb that if you copy the files first it does not recognize that they are duplicate and creates copies
