Google offers 'Google Drive Stream' that apes the killer Dropbox features: offline files that smart-sync as needed. Unfortunatly, it's only for GSuite accounts.

Google also discontinued one of their apps to rename and launch it as a different name. I got confused as to how I was supposed to replace it so I just uninstalled it and never used it again. Google doesn't spend nearly enough time working on UX.
But Dropox? Always works great. Always. Never had a problem. So I use them more and more. Too bad I can't encrypt my entire Dropbox like, say, Spideroak but oh well.

Ahem, cross-platform case sensitivity issues, symlink utterly doesn't works, but yes, apart from that, it's amazing.
You might give gocryptfs [1] a try, with it you can keep [part of] your content encrypted in Dropbox.
I tried Google’s file sync app a long time ago and it was dogshit compared to Dropbox. Unless Dropbox raised prices above $50/month I am not going to have a reason to ever try it again.

It's a little clunky though, the UI parts are not so graceful visually or performance wise.
