Better for protection of personal data and file transfers. Google Drive is unnecessary unless the person truly wants to do public sharing. Google Drive is quasi-dangerous for personal use, among friends, or within a company. Google goes through all your personal information for their benefit and profit. So if you don't want to share your private information with Google, yet have access to it from anywhere, better to use Syncthing. See More

So far so good. I have 4GB of files moved over. Seems to work reliably. See More
The only really good thing it has is that data is self-hosted (i.e. hosted on a server running on your machine with data that are on your machine). If user opens a malicious website that website may create users to access your data ("When registering, http traffic for creating new user on loopback http://127.0.0.1:8888") GetSync.com server receives many (all?) hashes in cleartext when sharing the directory.

Duplicity uses the rsync algorithm so only the changed parts of files are sent to the archive when doing an incremental backup. For instance, if a long log file increases by just a few lines of text, a small diff will be sent to and saved in the archive. Other backup programs may save a complete copy of the file. See More
Duplicity does not make many demands on its archive server. As long as files can be saved to, read from, listed, and deleted from a location, that location can be used as a duplicity backend. Besides increasing choice for the user, it can make a server more secure, as clients only require minimal access. See More
