In the case of Google Music I've solved the problem by changing the settings in Google Music Manager to limit upload speed to 128kbps which allows it to upload files (slowly) in the background) without causing any problems.
However, neither Onedrive nor Google Drive (which I want to use to back up my photos) seem to offer any option to do this, so when they're uploading the connection stop for every device in the house.
How can I leave Onedrive and Google Drive to upload files in the background without stopping my connection? I've tried switching them off and leaving my laptop on overnight but it's inconvenient.

A warm welcome to the forums.
How do you expect the router to do this WITHOUT the router having some guidance on your requirements? QoS on the upload can be configured on many routers, but it is not a straight forward task. It needs "instruction" on which PCs and / or services should have priority and which should not. Such requirements will be different for different users.
The products you are using ought to have controls to allow you to specify limits for their upload utilisation - certainly Dropbox does.
HOWEVER general slowness could be something to do with the configuration / operation of the PlusNet connection - possible but not likely. Can you please post the information requested on the "speed issues thread" link below.
In another browser tab, login into the Plusnet user portal BEFORE clicking the fault & ticket links
