Access to the Google Drive shared folder (Scholar-tier and higher) (Patreon)

How-to guide for getting access to the sheets through Google Drive or Dropbox (Scholar-tier and higher only).

Google Drive access

Access to the Google Drive is governed by a Google Group. All members of that group have access to the shared folder. It is done this way to allow more than 200 people access to the folder. The only downside of doing it this way is that you will only see the shared folder listed in your "Shared with me" section after you have opened the folder at least once.

If you are a Scholar-tier ($3+) subscriber and want access to the Google Drive, do the following:

Go to this Google Group page and select "Apply for membership". Don't forget to tell me your Patreon account name in the application message, or I might not be able to tell if you are eligible to join.

Once your membership has been approved by me, which I do manually (almost) daily, visit the Google Group page again, and follow the now visible link to the Google Drive shared folder. You should get an email from Google when your membership has been approved.

Some patrons have brought to my attention that I have been granting people access to the Google Drive shared folder, without people receiving any confirmation of that fact. Google should have sent you an email about it, but that doesn't always seem to work.

Dropbox access

If you are a Scholar-tier ($3+) subscriber and want access to the Dropbox shared folder, please let me know by sending me an email at mpmb@flapkan.com and include the email address you use for your Dropbox account as well as the email address or username you use on Patreon.
