using google drive to host videos for site

[Phenomenal]

As the title says, is it a good idea to use drive to host porn videos and embed to a site?

In the longterm, IMHO no. It's a risk one will take, having a free server to host videos for streaming. But google drive has limitations esp. in bandwidth, and your account can get caught from abnormally high consumption of it. That's the risk, getting your account down means your whole site will have broken videos, and you'll need to reupload/repost everything again.

Maybe it's an easy way to kickstart your site when you don't have the budget to pay for a server, but you'll have to move your videos into a proper hosting/server sooner or later as your site grows and that risk of losing the videos becomes more devastating.

yea you got a point. i'm trying to find something other than openload.

One of good ways to use google drive is as a backup server for your videos. You can upload them there and never publish publicly. That way whenever your videos from hosts like openload gets taken down, you can always reupload them back using the backup you have in google drive.

yea but what about streamango or streamcherry?

I wont recommend that for sure. Google may ban your account. Instead Look for a semi dedicated server.

Yes, do not use drive for storage, only backup!
