Locally I usually just use the terminal/CLI (on Linux), much more flexible and you can use scripts or specialized tools (like rsync or fdupes) for operations you need to perform repeatedly. GUIs just tend to be too slow and repetitive for my taste.
On the other hand Google Drive is still a lot better than that monstrosity you need to battle if you want to actually create API keys for any Google product so for my limited needs I usually just deal with using it every month or two when I really need to.
