Why am I getting faster speeds to Google Drive than Dropbox? Is it simply a different process and one is faster than the other? I've contacted both Synology support and Dropbox directly about this because this speed will inherently affect our workflow.
We're a video production company and we currently sync to Google every night. Sometimes this could be up to 3 TB depending on the type of film we capture.

We currently have about 100TB that needs to be backed up and we only have 60 days to do it.

It's unlikely that they'll be able to assist you. You're using an unofficial sync client that wasn't created by Dropbox.
