How to limit Google Drive's client bandwidth usage?

4

Is there any way to limit the amount of traffic Google Drive uses? I'm syncing Drive's content, and it almost swallows the entire bandwidth. I can't use Internet during sync operation.

1You can pause syncing, and you can limit the folders that get synced, but I do not see any way to limit bandwidth. (Something Dropbox can do.) – ale – 2013-09-07T04:16:26.113

I guess there should be a workaround for this. Maybe another application that be installed to control the bandwidth of other installed applications. – Saeed Neamati – 2013-09-07T08:46:14.990

If you use QOS you could give it a lower priority. However setup can be complex. – cybernard – 2013-09-07T19:42:52.617

There is a bandwidth setting in Advanced tab, where you can limit download and/or upload bandwidth.

Make sure you are using the latest version.
