Hosting Courses on Google Drive

I have been using Google Drive for sharing my courses for end users since a few months and I've found it really convenient and hassle free. Also google drive's server speed is much better than other hosting servers. But I have a question, and that is will the learners be having a certain bandwidth/download limitation to view a course via Google Drive..?
Example: Though the upload limit for the course owner on GOogle Drive is 15MB. That is okay. But can a learner access the course unlimited number of times through a google drive link or will there be a cap on download for the learner after he accesses the course 'n' number of times..? I hope you're getting what am trying to ask.

I can't say for sure, but I don't think there are limits for viewing GoogleDrive content (to me, that would defeat the purpose). There are some limits for EDITING GoogleDocs (see here for info) but those shouldn't apply when sharing a link to content to be viewed.
I am actually selling my courses online and they are hosted on Google Drive (just giving the course link to the learners), just wanted to confirm that it isn't risky,
