Team Video shared folder - Dropbox vs Drive #4

Closed cmrn closed 10 years ago

cmrn commented 10 years ago

I've just read through the team video plan, and it looks really good. The only thing that stood out to me is using Dropbox to collate all the media for the video.

Dropbox counts all of the content of a shared folder to everyones quota - this means if we have a lot of video in the shared folder, everyone's Dropbox quota will be used up.

I think Google Drive would be a better alternative, as it only counts the items you upload to a shared folder against your quota. Drive also has a bigger quota - 15GB vs 2GB.

I imagine that Google drive would be faster than dropbox too

15gb should be more than enough provided we're not shooting in 6k w/ uncompressed avi (or any uncompressed avi on that point)
