Not parent, but Google Drive has always been great for me. It has much improved from the clunky offering that was the release version. the only trouble I've had was corporate proxies, but God knows what hackery makes Dropbox work in this case. Now you have the ability to selected nested folders to sync, it does everything I need, and the storage is shared with Gmail, Photos, etc. |

* It does not do chunked syncing. Change one bit of a 5GB file, it gets resynced completely.
* You cannot get a list of shared files/folders. You basically need to check sharing per file/folder by hand or write/use a Google Apps script (which is very slow).
* It does not support LAN sync. When I share large directories with colleagues on Dropbox, sync is very quick, because the transfers are just over the local network.
* The last time I tried, the Google Drive client regularly had problems syncing some files when syncing a very large set of files.
(* There is no first-party client for Linux.)
