Google Drive does not run on windows. We need to quickly sync stuff between machines, capture revisions, all natively within windows. Thousands of files, daily.

Do you mean Linux? Drive does run on Windows.

Runs on Linux too. I have it set up on my NAS backing up to the cloud.

That said Google drive is missing some Dropbox features, but it meets my needs.

The real problem I see with ever using Google's product is that their history with keeping products around hasn't been very good. Now, I'm sure they won't pull the plug on Gmail anytime soon, but I'm not that sure about Drive.

I realize the same can be said of Dropbox as well. But like Gmail is to Google, cloud storage is to Dropbox.

It runs on Linux if you're willing to use a third-party utilty, right?
