Hello All.
Today, I'd like to share some news regarding our Patreon perks that are related to the Google Drive service.
For unknown reasons, our Google Drive account was deleted yesterday. Making us lose the content hosted on that account. Fortunately, we have a backup for all the data, and file restoration is now an ongoing task. The downside is, it would take a few days for the files to be fully restored.
This issue will impact our supporter who has manga and indie comics access via Google Drive.
Another unfortunate issue that I'd like to share regarding Google Drive is regarding anime perks. Recently, Google decided to remove unlimited storage space on the Google Drive plan. This changes, impacts the group that sharing the content with us.
The content is hundreds of TB in total size. They can't find replacement services with that much space with reasonable pricing. So at the moment, I have to remove the anime perks until I can find a suitable replacement for it.
It seems the industry is shifting its policy regarding pricing and storage limits. Besides Google Drive, Dropbox is also having similar changes in their services. Thankfully, the changes in Dropbox aren't impacting us in any way (at least for now).
I am really sorry to share this bad news. A new invitation for Google Drive will be sent once all data restoration is complete. But it might take a couple more days to be fully complete. And will be keeping you guys updated on any news regarding this issue. Also, feel free to share your thoughts on this.--
New update: Jan 1st, 2024 :
All the data migration and folder re-sharing is done. But Google Drive has limitation on how many notification could be shared within 1 day, so many of you might be aren't getting an email notification about it. Please check your Google Drive dashboard > Shared with Me tab. The new folder should be listed in there. If it is still not listed on the dashboard, please send me a message.Apologies for the late delay about the matter. Huge target on work, with end of year deadline really squeeze all the free time I had this month.I wish you all a happy new year, hoping the new year will bring more joy and happiness for all of us.
