Right now, I’m using Ubuntu as my daily driver for my laptop which happens to be its fifth year today since I bought it. Everything’s really really fine including casual browsing except when I entered Google Drive. GDrive is very unresponsive as hell making my laptop unusable for a minute and a half. When you do something in there, it will take you another five seconds to complete or to just move. Also the app loads in just two minutes under a 900kbps connection. Seriously, this is very annoying as hell.

Dear Google…

Dear Google, your current interface for Drive is a data and performance mess. I liked your interface back when you introduced this product. Why not put a basic version for it just like what you did to Maps? Online file drives are also important too, duh.

Why not build your own?

If you suggest I should build my own instead or used those ones found on GitHub, then I would say no. No because it’s a waste of time to develop and a headache to maintain due to rate limits, bug, and etc. The API’s are a bit too complex for me to put into a simple application. Also, this so called “third world” problem shouldn’t be big deal to me because I don’t really much use it everyday and the network is pretty slow so I cannot rely to put big files there so I just use it for photo backups whatsoever.
