In my experience - and from what I've seen in my subsequent frustrated research - Google Drive struggles with large files. I had a 9Gb VM that I split into 2GB pieces, and I still couldn't get one piece uploaded in a 24-hour period. Also, there is no progress display and it seems that a simple 'pause' of the sync restarts the process.

The GD client / back-end and large-file handling seems to be a long way behind the alternatives, sadly.
