This is cool but a while back I ended up switching to Dropbox because Drive was extremely unreliable. It failed to sync more often than it synced, and would fail permanently very often, suggesting I disconnect and reconnect my Drive. Google was uninterested in addressing this issue back when I, and many many other were having this trouble. I love Google and still use Drive to store my documents but I don't have it syncing folders, or even installed on my system anymore. It was simply unusable as a working folder. Dropbox has zero issues. I haven't had any problems with it in the time I've had it and I use it as a working folder all day long.
