I may very well be mistaken. Just thought for sure that Google nuked the files. I put them in a "Candi" folder and came back later to find the folder empty.

Oh well.

About 2TB. Many of them new stuffs not shared here.

A few years ago I was knee deep in doing something similar, just with photos: using the Instagram API to write a web application that combed Instagram every five minutes, saved every photo from like 25 different preggo-related tags (while also avoiding duplicates), and archived them in a searchable database. The ultimate goal was that it would become a web site people could go to to see excellent preggo content from Instagram, and all the content would be curated by me, as I would go through every so often and weed out the meh stuff.

Anyway, the pic-saving script worked - remarkably well, I might add - but I never got around to writing the front end that did the searching, so I was never really able to easily search through the pics; I just had a huge folder of JPEGs and a raw database. The app ran for a few months, archiving every pic from those tags every step of the way, before Instagram changed their API requirements and paused my app access because it was no longer compliant. A few more months went by, and I finally dug around enough to realize that I didn't want to bother putting forth the effort to make the app compliant again (kind of like how Statigram/Iconosquare was never the same after the API change). And once I reached that decision, I didn't want to finish the front end so that I could even go through the months' worth of pics I already had. In the end I just let it all go and deleted the pics.

But what if I had continued? What if I used 50 tags, or 100 tags, instead of 25? I still would've inevitably missed some gems that slipped through the cracks. It just wasn't worth the concern to me - I had/have more important things going on in my life, and if I had continued with my plans it would've turned into a habit I would consider unhealthy.

I feel you are at a similar crossroads. I know you didn't exactly ask for this kind of advice, but there you have it.

are you guys compressing your videos or something? Few Full HD videos alone are atleast 1GB each

I don't have much because it's pointless when you're only going to watch a few videos and they aren't HD
