The bytes remain on Google Drive, where the quota the page promises does not exist, does exist. |

| Limits | - per-ip-shaping (binding) unstated; the Drive-side per-file throttle is inherited source
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 | per-ip-shaping 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. |
|---|
| Identity | anonymous 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.' |
|---|
| Egress | Downloads are served by the site as one-click links, 'No annoying waiting times'. No allowance, price or meter is printed. |
|---|
| 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. |
|---|
| 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. |
|---|
| Interface | unknown 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 | documented 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. |
