New content library.

I believe you do, yes. I'm not 100%. There might be a free version. I pay because I have more than 1 GB of stuff on there.

Mr. Phoenyxx

No problem. Thank you for the idea, it was worth a shot :)

SitriAbyss

Thank you, I will ask her.

SitriAbyss

Hey Sitri! I tried a few things and unfortunately you are right, public links cannot expire (and if you deactivated and reactivate it, it comes back with the same link), meaning that you would have to manage access on an individual level, which obviously isn't feasable. Sorry about that!

TG_Sorcerer

Is that so? I will look into it. Thank you for the idea.

SitriAbyss

Thanks for the idea. I will look into it.

SitriAbyss

That's not a bad idea. I will test it out. Thank you.

SitriAbyss

I see. Do you need to pay for the Dropbox storage space?

SitriAbyss

Hey! This would be a pretty good idea, but as far as I can tell, I need to manually add everyone individually who can watch the library this way. In my case that would be over 800 people. Or did I missed something?

SitriAbyss

Great idea.

A patron that i follow uses mega and change the access link monthly

Yeah the dropbox password way is a little less cumbersome. I have also seen that on a few Patreons.

Gene

One of the Patrons I follow has all their stuff in DropBox. They change the password every month, then on the 2nd or 3rd they send the new password to their current subscribers.

There is a solution even if it's a little cumbersome. You put all of your file into a folder, named for example folder1. You share the link for that folder. Then the first of the month you create a folder called folder2, you move everything to that folder and delete folder1. You can then share the link for folder2, or even rename it to folder1, the link will still be different.

This would take a lot of effort. You not only have to monitor those who left, but every new patron that joins or changes tier. In my opinion, this is not a manageable solution.

Mr. Phoenyxx

I am struggling with more or less the same thing right now. What I've decided to do is use DropBox and organize the archives based on tiers. DropBox enables me to password protect these archives. The password will be changed regularly, and only posted to Patrons.

Mr. Phoenyxx

Another creator I support has a catigory with only one post that contains the download link for all his series. Whenever he finishes one he updates the post to include the new one. This way, only his patrons can access it but it is all in one place easy to find.

Some Guy

I think, with Google drive, you can control who has access using their email addresses. They'd have to have a Google address though and you'd have to keep track of unsubscribers to remove their access. It would be better than nothing if there's not better alternative.

Hmmm I'm not sure on this from the people saving it perspective, I think it's an amazing idea because I love rereading your older work as well, you could always ask tseudonimm/Kara because they are using mega now

You could share a new link every month with a set expiration date for the end of the month
