Hi All,
I have noticed some of you are still using google drive to host your projects, I am wondering if you have found an alternative for after August?
I presume everyone knows you can't host on Google after this time.
For all those who are looking for an alternative I would suggest Amazon s3, it is free and easy to setup. Although the home page of Amazon looks confusing, compared to google drive;
https://aws.amazon.com/?nc2=h_lg vs
https://www.google.com/intl/en/drive/
Tom has wrote a great article on how to do this;

And in the comments christine has made a sceener;

This how I got started with Amazon, hopefully this can help some others get started too.

Thanks Julia. You can also host in DropBox. Ashley Chiasson has a great video on that:

- Thanks Daniela, Drop Box is another great solution,
The reason I didn't mention dropbox and didn't use it is because of the warning Tom gives in his article;
"WARNING: For the most part Google Drive and Dropbox do a decent job of sharing published course files. However, they’re not designed to deliver elearning courses and often the load time is slow or you may have some issues with the content playing the way it should. That’s something to keep in mind because if this is for client work, you want to give the best experience possible and you may not get that with Google drive and Dropbox."
He also mentioned that in Amazon the file will play as intended;
"Amazon S3 is a better solution than Dropbox and Google Drive because the files will play as intended"
I have never used Dropbox before so I can't personal comment on it's performace.
PS. I really like your profile pic! What town is in the background? It looks Mediterranean?Italy?- I should look at Amazon. Thanks for the tip. The background is Cinque Terre in taly. It's on the Italian Riviera side and stands for "Five Lands" . We are going there this summer!!!!
