I would vote for syncthing as it can have better support if you need syncing across work firewalls. Also allows device-to-device sync, not just server-device. It's a cool federated solution (like lemmy!).
This is what I use to sync notes between my mobile and pc. Sync only over wifi so I don't have to bother with internet facing security issues, and my data doesn't end up traveling outside my wifi.
In my experience syncthing is used to keep a folder on multiple devices in parity. So deletinga file in the folder on your desktop will also remove it from the linked folder.
Google drive is like a secondary hard drive. Files do not need to match the host files
