Recommendation

Out of all the options, I find Multcloud to be the easiest and convenient. It also comes with 30GB free storage which is not provided by any other cloud sync service.

Though a desktop client is lacking, the sync rate is good. Number of options available are also more. One-way sync offers different kind of settings to your convenience. If you prefer a desktop app then cBackup is also a good option.

But I find most of the cloud sync services are restricted by paid options and bandwidth. In some cases, you cannot add too many drive accounts. This all makes Multcloud the best service to sync two google drive accounts.
