Access to the Google Drive shared folder (Scholar-tier and higher)
Added 2017-11-15 10:30:40 +0000 UTCSome patrons have brought to my attention that I have been granting people access to the Google Drive shared folder, without people receiving any confirmation of that fact. Google should have sent you an email about it, but that doesn't always seem to work.
Access to the Google Drive is governed by a Google Group. All members of that group have access to the shared folder. It is done this way to allow more than 200 people access to the folder. The only downside of doing it this way is that you will only see the shared folder listed in your "Shared with me" section after you have opened the folder at least once.
If you are a Scholar-tier ($3+) subscriber and want access to the Google Drive, do the following:
1) Go to this Google Group page and select "Apply for membership". Don't forget to tell me your Patreon account name in the application message, or I might not be able to tell if you are a eligible to join.
2) Once your membership has been approved by me, visit the Google Group page again, and follow the now visible link to the Google Drive shared folder. You should get an email from Google when your membership has been approved.
Everybody that has requested access to the Google Drive any time in the past should have access to the Google Group already. If this is not the case, please apply for membership there.
If you (also) want access to the Dropbox shared folder, please let me know by sending me an email at mpmb@flapkan.com and include the email address you use for your Dropbox account.
I hope this clears things up!

2018-07-26 02:50:48 +0000 UTCJoining the Google Group is not an automated process, I have to click on 'accept'. That's why it can take some time, depending if I have time to check the join requests. Once I click on 'accept', you should get a confirmation email.

2018-03-25 17:21:47 +0000 UTCHi, sorry for the rookie comment, I'm new here I'm set up to pledge $3 per month and I think I sent the message to apply to the group (Google drive) properly but I'm not sure! Do I get a email when I'm accepted into the group? Thanks :)

2018-03-25 15:24:48 +0000 UTCWhen you open the Google Group page from the link in the approval mail, you should see an welcome/explanatory text with a link to Google Drive. Once you click that link, the folder will be available in your Google Drive directly from then on as 'shared with me'.

2018-02-07 18:40:47 +0000 UTCI received my approval email on 2/6, but don't see the shared file in the Google group. Where do I find this?

2017-11-29 18:48:21 +0000 UTCI cannot wait to see the update for Xanathar's Guide to Everything. Are you planning to ever include an option for Milestones (instead of XP)?

2017-11-29 18:42:17 +0000 UTCExcellent. I'm in it now. Didn't get an email from the Google Group, though. Weird.
