Google Drive client has the option to limit upload or download speed. The uploading, downloading and syncing process requires utilization of your upload speed. Google Drive has a desktop client which allows you to upload, download and sync files between your local and online storage of Drive. Google Drive offers 5GB of FREE storage space to all its users. Google offers user an initial 15 GB of online storage space, that is shared across three of its most used services i.e Google Drive, Gmail & Google+. I hope one of those, maybe even Google's latest offering, will solve your problem.Google Drive is a file synchronization and cloud storage service provided by Google Inc. You can find many additional alternatives at - some free and some commercial.FYI, their paid version includes encryption so you wouldn't need to first RAR your pictures. They have a free tier that includes everything you need. I don't have personal experience with it yet. Another alternative I explored that looks promising is odrive.However, after 15 days free trial you have to buy a license. I've found it very reliable, speedy and the customer service pretty responsive. (Contrary to one of the comments, there are several alternatives.) One that I have experience with is InSync.

Try some of the alternative to Google's clients.Note that in my experience Backup & Sync has been more reliable than its predecessor.


First, in my experience 400MB is not such a large file. Regarding your problem - failure to upload "large" files over a flaky connection. You can download the latest version from Google. You have two replacements from Google, Backup & Sync or File Stream, the latter being available only to G-Suite users. You can read more about that in the New York Times, The Register and elsewhere. It is not the Drive desktop client, which has been officially deprecated. First, you should be using Google's latest supported tool for sync'ing with Drive.
