| Speed Issues: Slower than Slow | longe630 | 4/27/12 6:05 PM | Google has some work to do. I thought being that it was Google that their product, even though beta, would be good to go. Man was I wrong. Basically I have about 100,000 files equaling 11 GB worth of data that I am uploading. based on the current rat |
| Re: Speed Issues: Slower than Slow | Arqira | 4/27/12 7:18 PM | I have the same problem... 50% CPU usage and very slow upload. |
| Re: Speed Issues: Slower than Slow | yaddayaddaya | 4/27/12 9:43 PM | It will always take longer to transfer many small files than a single large file...you can test this even on a LAN... |
| Re: Speed Issues: Slower than Slow | longe630 | 4/27/12 11:24 PM | Of course it will, I'm not an idiot, but it shouldn't take a week. I can ftp 10,000 files in about an hour. Why does 100,000 files take 100 hours. Doesn't Equate. That being said the speed has been a bit better today and the application hasn't crashe |
| Re: Speed Issues: Slower than Slow | CertifiedSEO | 4/30/12 4:45 AM | I agree. I have high speed cable and Google Drive sync is extremely slow. I am using Dropbox and considering to switch to Google Drive but the sync speed is very slow. |
| Re: Speed Issues: Slower than Slow | longe630 | 4/30/12 12:18 PM | It finally finished in about 48 hours. Once I just left it alone, even though Googles advice is to restart the application if the sync number stalls for a while, it went a bit faster. So the speed for me is just on the cusp of acceptable, but barely. |
| Re: Speed Issues: Slower than Slow | Papa Bear | 4/30/12 4:01 PM | Have you tried hard-wiring your machine to your router instead of using a wireless connection? Per Google Drive team member - Paul Cheong at https://groups.google.com/a/googleproductforums.com/forum/#!category-topic/drive/report-a-problem/1-F |
| Re: Speed Issues: Slower than Slow | longe630 | 4/30/12 5:24 PM | No I have not tried hard wiring it. I don't see why that would make any difference unless the wireless driver has a conflict with the desktop sync. I am not receiving the Unable to sync message, so the rest of what you said has no relevance. Besides |
| Re: Speed Issues: Slower than Slow | Piet73 | 5/1/12 4:26 AM | I have the same problem: too much cpu and really slow speed in uploading files.I'm syncing another computer (MAC) through Gdrive: the download speed of the new files on the MAC is really terrible: it takes forever!! |
| Re: Speed Issues: Slower than Slow | egremyl | 5/4/12 4:04 AM | i have the same problem on my Mac, i synced 1,7GB (13000 files) from my machine. upload is terribly slow, and it consumes aprox 100% cpu (on a dual-core i7 mbp). |
| Re: Speed Issues: Slower than Slow | kindaskimpy | 5/5/12 12:36 AM | I've absolutely experienced the same slow upload speeds. I have about 40GB of stuff waiting to upload and at this rate, it's going to take about a month to finish! I've laso noticed that it is occupying an absurd amount of RAM. I'm talking anywhere b |

| Re: Speed Issues: Slower than Slow | .jay | 5/11/12 11:11 AM | Slow upload time can be annoying, but as a former Sugar Sync user, I don't mind it. When I used Sugar Sync and set upload speed to high (and sometimes on normal) it would use up too much bandwidth. I couldn't watch any streaming video unless I slowed |
| Re: Speed Issues: Slower than Slow | .jay | 5/11/12 11:13 AM | Not to mention it's $5 a month for 100GB... and you're complaining that it takes a little while to upload over 80,000 files? |

| Re: Speed Issues: Slower than Slow | RD185 | 5/25/12 12:28 PM | Just provided the following feedback: Massively disruptive on network access. I use Speedtest.net - with nothing running I get ping/download/upload of around 30ms/13.5Mbps/1.5Mbps. If I run Microsoft Skydrive, Speedtest shows 31ms/12.5Mbps/0.9-1.2Mb |
| Re: Speed Issues: Slower than Slow | RD185 | 5/25/12 1:08 PM | Another bit of info (sadly my network protocol knowledge is quite limited so I can't do more than say this looks odd/strange/wrong).

| Re: Speed Issues: Slower than Slow | GC vs GV | 5/25/12 5:58 PM | Answer: Take the Desktop/App out of the equation. Google Drive via the browser is just as dog slow. I used to get reasonable upload speed prior to upgrade from Google Docs. I have always used Docs/Drive via the browser due to security concerns. |
| Re: Speed Issues: Slower than Slow | danbaatar | 5/31/12 6:48 PM | I have the same problem. Uploads are very slow. I've only used the web interface, though, since the Linux client isn't available yet. |

| Re: Speed Issues: Slower than Slow | dpght | 7/3/12 9:42 AM | No doubt about it, GDrive is really really slow, compared to Dropbox--particularly when handling large numbers of files. See this page (not mine) for thorough comparison of GDrive and Dropbox. In my own testing of the two services I obtained similar |
