Issues with Google Drive (Patreon)

Hi everybody!

I've heard from a couple of you that Google Drive isn't playing some of the videos with the reason being 'number of allowed views has been exceeded'. I wasn't aware that Google Drive had a limit on views (!) so I will do more research and see if there's anything I can do or if I have to find a new storage solution. :-( I'm sorry about the difficulty!

If you encounter this issue, one workaround is to download the videos to your hard drive to watch them. That's actually the intended way to do it, since in theory you'd be syncing up your own copy of the episode to watch along with the reaction. (The obstructed PIP is really meant to be a guide to sync up.)

Another way to go is if you have a Google account yourself, and if you have the room on your own drive, you can save the file to your Google drive and watch from there.

If you want to comment below on which files you're having the issue with, please feel free. I'm testing out some of the files and so far Google is letting me play the videos, so I'd love to check out the ones that aren't working for people.

Thanks so much for letting me know - working on a solution! :-) 😍
