New ways to upload my content

I would like you to help me find a more convenient way to upload my content to Patreon and Gumroad. The current system is too complex.
----------------------------------------------
Extended post
I have been thinking about this issue since I started Hotsatyr, and more strongly since the tragic event of discovering the leaking of uncensored content several months ago.
If I had shared my illustrations uncensored that event would not have happened, I would be free from the mental burden of keeping the files safe, and I would also have more engaging, more followers, and possibly more patrons. However, I liked the idea of creating a select community of people (you) who could access exclusive and wonderful content, and I want to continue on this path.
For all the above reasons, at the beginning of 2023:
- I created the Superhot tier for those who want to support my work to the fullest, with succulent rewards.
- I shared the illustrations through a temporary download link sent by private message. To protect what you have paid for and prevent others from getting it for free.
- I created a Gumroad account to publish uncensored packs of my illustrations a year after sharing them on Patreon for those who missed the previous content.
How my Patreon currently works is the only way I've found, but it is not very comfortable. Some patrons don't arrive in time to download the content, it's difficult to prepare these links and waiting a year for Gumroad packs is too long.
The solution has to be within Patreon but it can't be on Patreon posts, as it is the content that is spread illegally and automatically. I have talked to Patreon support several times, but the answer is always the same. It seems they can't do anything.
I would like to know your opinion on what I should do. I have prepared a poll in which you can choose several options per person. I will get a better idea of your thoughts (although the best thing to do is to comment on this post and generate a conversation).
Together we will make this Patreon the best of all.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT π

It looks like the Drive option will be the new way to operate. It will be much more convenient for everyone. Thanks for commenting! What solution to piracy do you have in your Patreon?

I don't think it's necessary to set a strict time limit on direct messages, end up certainly missed some download links due to expiration rates. I voted to extend that, and also voted for the drive option, since that would solve a lot of your current problems.
