I needed to monitor the uploads occasionally throughout the process. I wish I could just initiate the transfer of all my files at once, but this wasn’t possible.

I left my computer running through the night for multiple nights to get this done.Īdditionally, uploading large batches often caused the upload to freeze so I recommend uploading in smaller batches. And just a heads up, uploading the 250 GB took days. So if you have a good internet connection at home, you might as well stay home to upload the files. Uploads were slow, and after some research I learned that the upload speeds are capped on the Google Drive side. The city of Provo has fiber internet through Google Fiber, so I drove to the office of a friend of mine to upload the files there. Since I planned to upload a large amount of files, I thought it would be best to use a really fast internet connection. Here are a few things I’ve learned during the upload process and in accessing those files: Upload speed capped server side. I paid for the 1 TB storage option and uploaded over 250 GB of files.

I like the interface and like having things all in one place. Recently, I decided to use Google Drive as a secondary backup for my files.
