Google drive download limits

Hi there. Is there any limit to how many times a GoogleDrive file can be downloaded? If I have a link on a webpage for example, and it gets downloaded multiple times in a day by different people will that be a problem? And if so is it any different with a paid account? Cheers

Sorry Mokit, but you are not right. Of course there is limit. It's called Download Quota Limit.

The problem is, there is no exact number. It depends on overall load of GDrive, in my opinion. Sometimes you can download the file 50 times, sometime you download 3 times and you reach the Download Quota Limit.

GDrive is good for "a few files or a few kilobytes". For serious purpose I recommend to use some better storage clouds, like DropBox.
