We wanted to limit how many people can download the raw ProRes file in order to make sure the Google Drive Transfer Quota doesn’t get capped out so for now it will be on a person by person basis so there isn’t too much traffic. I will be hosting the encode on my own Google Drive in order to help minimize traffic.
Not sure if this trick still works, but if they create a shortcut in their own drive, it generally considers it a new file and won’t contribute to the quota.
This trick does work the issue is the Drive when it hits a transfer quota you can’t download anything else from the Drive and there are a bunch of other scans that are being stored there. I can make mirrors for the encode just fine, but making mirrors for the ProRes will be very tricky so best to make it request only. Better that way since not many people will want the ProRes anyway other than people working on the project.
