Storage HLS fragmented in Drive #10

First of all, thanks for the project. Question, why don't we store the HLS fragmented in google drive storage instead of use service accounts?

Very good question! You can certainly modify the code to do that. However, the whole point of using serviceaccounts is that we don't have to rely on just one account or a fixed set of accounts. Service accounts are a lot versatile, they can easily be replaced, thus making it easy to replicate/backup uploaded fragments. Furthermore, the ability to create many service accounts on a google account grants unlimited storage if we distribute the fragments properly.
