Google Drive, and many others (especially free ones), have upload bandwidth restrictions (mb/hr) that you may be exceeding. The first stage is a limiter on speeds if you go over it. I believe the time window is 2 hours, but I do not know the current data figures. There also is a per-day limit of 750GB, but that's a hard cap that blocks uploading completely for a day. 

What speeds do you get if you use the native Google Drive app? As my upstream Internet is only 20mbit, I can't help by testing mine. I stopped using Google Drive in my Cloud Drive setup a while back, as even with my lower upstream speeds, I was hitting some restrictions (perhaps on number of files?) with Cloud Drive.

It may just be that you need to tweak the Cloud Drive settings, like block size etc, to reduce the number of files created?

Also, Google Drive has a 750GB per day, per account upload limit.  So a limit of 70mbps will actually come in slightly under that limit.   So ... they may be throttling on their end to ensure that, now.
