This is great for me. I use dropbox for my personal files these days instead of GDrive because there's no native linux client for Gdrive. There are some 3rd party ones but they're not that great. I've also been moving away from Google Docs and now the only thing I have in my GDrive is a financial sheet for budgeting that I like to access from my phone. I'll probably store it on Dropbox now.

Google Drive always fails to sync correctly on my Macbook as well, unlike Dropbox.

Is that the old client? Yes, it was never great for me either.

I had an alert to switch to "Google Drive File Stream" (and uninstall the old Google Drive client) that is some kind of virtual filesystem. I went ahead and did it but haven't used it much yet.

I found out about File Stream by accident, they haven't really pushed it.

It's only for g-suite (i.e. corporate) users, not personal accounts. It's up to your g-suite admin to push it. I've been using it for a few months and it's pretty good.
