Any Solutions for uploading files to cloud storage(e.g Google drive) and such, for people in countries with very slow upload speeds?

I have a collection of ebooks(8 GB atm) that i want to backup to google drive. It usually takes me 2-3 hrs to upload a 2 GB zip file(containing only the most important documents and files). Tried to upload my ebooks, left it for 12 hrs and it still hasn’t uploaded. Thought maybe its because i am using Rclone shared client ID(heavily rate limited ), so i set up my own client ID and tried again and its been 3 hrs and still hasn’t upload I am realizing now that its probably has nothing to do with rclone but rather my internet speed, specifically my upload speed(download 15-30 mps & upload 5-8 mps). So i am wondering if anyone has solutions for people in countries with abysmal internet speeds.

uploading from a phone if it stays on all the time uploading one at a time, uploading in smaller batches uploading from an internet café, a library or some other place if it has internet faster than yours hire a VPS, use some transfer method with a more generous timeout tolerance to transfer the files uncompressed, and from there leave the ebooks uploading with your preferred method

Mail a physical copy to someone with a faster connection and ask them to upload for you

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
