How do I speed up syncing?

I installed InSync about two weeks ago. Our business decided to switch from DropBox to InSync + Drive.

I've kept it syncing every work day for the full day (so for 10 days, ~8 hours per day), and it is not close to completely syncing my shared Drive Files.

Is there any way to speed it up?

I have a solid, fast internet connection, so that's not the problem.

Using: InSync 1.3.5.36069 on a MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan 10.11.2, more than 200GB still free.

Hi there, unfortunately, the current initial sync speed is slow, however, succeeding syncs will be much quicker afterwards.

I can also suggest if you have the official Google Drive client, use that first to download the files then reuse the same folder to sync with Insync.

Use the official Google Drive client? If that client worked for my situation I wouldn't have paid for InSync's client.
Please add the ability to control how much bandwidth is used or how many files sync'd simultaneously.
