I performed an experiment to test whether GDrive delete pirated content - they do.

- bArray 5y ago> How can I reproduce your experiment? Pirate a copy of some modern Disney/Pixar film and upload it to your GDrive. Within a few hours it'll likely get DMCA'd. EDIT: There is no requirement to share a link, Google will scan your drive once it processes the video. There are other such reported cases of DMCA violations, etc, so this isn't isolated [1] [2].

- jhanschoo 5y agoJust want to comment on the links: [1]: the guy was sharing Windows ISOs. [2]: Reqvim seems to have been sharing a modified binary (the original was created by someone else). If you've experienced it I'm wondering if you might have uploaded it to a shared folder. But I'll keep your anecdote in mind, not too interested in reproducing it on my primary account, and not sure if enforcement would be different if I were to use a burner. I'll also note that as mentioned by a commenter in [2], Google isn't required by DMCA to remove content on GDrive that isn't being shared, though this might be a user's breach of TOS.
