    Hi nsfw123,

    We are aware of these problems, yet we have not implemented a solution for them yet, as we did with a similar service – Amazon Drive.

    The main issue with Google Drive is that it is not at all made for hosting video. The videos hosted on GD lack support of range requests and also doesn’t show the file size in the HTTP header. Therefore the player must load the whole file before the video can play, which can take a lot of time depending on the file size and network speed. When I was testing this, a 1.2 GB video took 25 minutes to load, which is basically unusable. You also won’t be able to jump on the timeline.

    I would recommend trying a different hosting service.

    Thanks,
    Eduard
