Other is bandwidth settings: You can now have control over the bandwidth in the Advanced section of Preferences menu.

“If you’re like most people, you use your computer for checking email or browsing the Web, but also for streaming YouTube videos or Google Play Music. Either way, you probably want your bandwidth going to what’s most important to you at the time. Now, you can choose to limit how much bandwidth Drive consumes for those times when you need extra for something else. You can do that in the Advanced section of the Preferences menu.”
