If a lot of people view a video that's on a google drive, it will become unavailable and you'll have to download it. This is just annoying after time. Any solutions to work around this or another hosting site that's better than google drive? Thanks!

cloud.mail.ru is too slow so next best option is amazon drive or onedrive (not tested)

When comparing the 4 main drives (Google, Cloud.mail, Amazon, and OneDrive) I found out that Amazon has the cheapest plans going for $11.99 a year for 100gb and $59.99 a year for 1TB. As for copyrighted content that can be taken down (TMC in particular) I find out that cloud.mail.ru would be your best bet.

Guys, I dont know why I never mentioned this before, I guess it slipped out of my mind but mega.nz allows you to play videos without downloading.

Simply right click on the video and click preview.

The best thing is you get 50GB free

mega.nz is now the best. gives you 50GB for free and your videos don't get down for copyright. For some reason I can't make new cloudmail.ru accounts (I guess I made to much or something) and cloudmail gives only 8GB for free. So I switched to mega.nz.

But there is a limit to how much you can download for a period of time.
