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.

Have you considered a torrent based solution?
Setup a torrenting server hosted online somewhere with fast speeds (e.g. Netherlands), sync it with gdrive, create a torrent for your books, and "download" your books to the toreenting machine.
This approach won't help with upload speed, but it should help with reliability/continuity. As long as you seed from your home computer, your books will eventually make it into your gdrive.
Although with this setup it might be easier to just torrent the ebooks to the online server from sources other than yourself.
If OP is going legit, torrenting is a pretty solid solition. And like the VPS and mailing suggestions, OP could torrent the files to a remote server, and from that server, upload to a 3rd party storage.
