@dostovel You should totally sign up for a second gmail account, just to get a clean 15 GB of cloud storage. Here’s the process I recommend to get me involved:

1. Sync your google drive account to your computer. Google offers their own sync apps for windows and mac (no linux but I don’t think you’re using linux)
2. Move you render-ready project directory to your google drive folder. Name is something like “Omar-Demoreel” or somethign. Keep it as optimal as possible, removing unnecessary files like .blend1 and .blend2 files, any WIP texture files, etc. Only the essential files needed for rendering.
3. Make sure your .blend files are render-ready after the move to the google drive folder (could break texture references).
   • Also make sure your render output is set correctly, targeting  a folder within the project (and thus within google drive).
   • It’s key to ENABLE PLACEHOLDERS and DISABLE OVERWRITE in your output settings. This is what enables others to open the same synced file, press render, and only render frames not yet rendered.
4. Once you know the .blends are render-ready, go to the google drive website, navigate to your project directory, right click on it and choose “Get Shareable link”. That URL you can paste here and I (and anyone who clicks the link) will have access to that directory only.
5. Once I have access, I can test rendering and you should get notified of incoming files.

If we get that all accomplished, we should be in good shape for others to sync the directory and contribute to rendering!
