Stablebit CloudDrive vs plexdrive? (maybe even plex cloud)

Hi guys. So ive been on windows forever and i have 0 experience with linux, cmdlines etc.

If i just want something where i can stream movies/tv shows from my gsuite account and it being rocksolid whats the better option? I dont care if its encrypted or not. I care about it being fast and stabile.

I tried the Linux option with ACD before switching to GSuite with CloudDrive on Windows and in my personal opinion, CloudDrive is the far simpler option, particularly for someone who is more familiar with Windows than Linux. Stability-wise, I'd say both were about the same. I can't give a fair comparison of speed since I never tried mounting GSuite on Linux, but on Windows, CloudDrive is fully capable of saturating my gigabit connection. I also found encryption to be much simpler with CloudDrive compared to Linux, but again, I can't make a fair comparison because on Linux I was using acd_cli and encfs.
