## DriveSeed

- `debrid/driveseed` | qualifies-with-caveat | evidence documented | binding per-ip-shaping | category Google Drive sharing front end and Drive manager (Indian DDL ecosystem) | tier free
- needs card no, phone no, ID no, institution no | verified 2026-10-23T03:45:40.649Z (live) | stale on 2026-11-23
- url https://driveseed.org/
- price USD 0
- free tier: "UNLIMITED - No quota limit. No annoying waiting times, Share & Download as many files as you want." Sharing and downloading are free and need no account. | unit: unlimited | metered on: none | read on: 2026-10-23 | source: [1] | note: The unlimited claim covers the sharing front end. The bytes remain on Google Drive, where the quota the page promises does not exist, does exist.
- per-object cap: Not stated on the site. The only size-shaped statement is that the service plays and shares video stored in the owner's Drive. | source: [1] | note: Drive's own per-file limits apply and are not restated.
- retention: Not stated for the links. The about page claims 'New Layers of Backup Drive System Added to Keep Files Alive', which is about the operator's re-upload behaviour, not a retention promise to a user. | source: [2]
- egress: Downloads are served by the site as one-click links, 'No annoying waiting times'. No allowance, price or meter is printed. | metered: no | source: [1]
- identity: anonymous | detail: Downloading needs nothing. Publishing or managing a Drive needs Google OAuth with drive scope: 'You have to Sign Up through google and allow our application the Permissions to access and manage your google drive.'
- interface: unknown
- limits:
  - per-ip-shaping (binding): unstated; the Drive-side per-file throttle is inherited [2]
- limits note: The about page's own changelog names the constraint the marketing hides: '403: User Rate Limit Exceeded - Fixed to Great Extent'. The phrase 'to great extent' is the operator admitting the fix is partial.
- binding note: A client pulling 1 TiB a month through DriveSeed pulls it from Google, and Google's per-file and per-session shaping is what stops the transfer. The site adds no counter that could bind first.
- interface detail: Web only as read: a dashboard, 'Sign in using Google+' OAuth, drive browsing, bulk link export, and a documented 'Download Folder Change Option' in the profile panel. No API, RSS or CLI was found on the pages read.
- tooling: Third-party bypass scripts exist for the whole family (bypasser.py in Link-Bypasser-Bot lists driveseed among the gdlist hosts), which is the de-facto API. No first-party client.
- composes with: The last wrapper before the bytes: an index site posts a DriveSeed link, the downloader lands on a Google-hosted file, and the link survives re-uploads because the operator keeps backup Drives. It sits behind FilePress and HubCloud in the same chain and is interchangeable with GDFlix, which ships the same page.
- reliability: The service is a Google OAuth app holding drive scope over the user's account, so a publisher's exposure is the whole Drive, not one folder. Links depend on the operator's backup Drives staying alive, and the site has rotated versions (v5.1 today, with a 'Fully New Dark Theme' rewrite) without a stable public changelog.
- evidence note: Homepage and about page read on the live host. The 'unlimited' claim is the vendor's, unmeasured: no download was pulled and no quota was seen to fail. What would raise the rung is one scripted fetch of a large shared file with the byte count and the throttle status.
- extras:
  - version_seen: DriveSeed v5.1
  - template_twin: gdflix (v4.6) serves the same copy and layout
- evidence:
  - [1] 2026-10-23: live at v5.1 with the 'UNLIMITED - No quota limit' claim, 'Sign in using Google+', TeamDrive support and a share-link flow
  - [2] 2026-10-23: the Drive-manager model ('allow our application the Permissions to access and manage your google drive'), the quota framing ('without worrying about quota limits reached'), and the changelog line '403: User Rate Limit Exceeded - Fixed to Great Extent'
  - [3] 2026-10-23: driveseed is listed in a maintained bypass script's gdlist alongside gdflix, hubdrive and drivehub, so the family is automated by third parties rather than by an API
