it really is too bad. All of the major tech companies' competitors are junk. Google Drive is the least bad of the bunch (out of, say, OneDrive, iCloud, and formerly Amazon Drive), but it's still not great to deal with. DropBox really does do a great job
But you can just use any cloud blob storage provider (including the big ones) along with the rclone utility. rclone supports many.
I even use rclone to sync photos to OneDrive I can then share with family/friends.
Google Drive has gotten inexplicably cheap for Workspace users, too.
OneDrive used to be rubbish but nowadays it's reliable. We use it at work and I don't feel any pressure to move to Dropbox. It's also much cheaper.
