title: Google Drive Public Links Concurrent Limits
body: <p>I have been using Google Drive files shared with "View Everybody with Links" to store images that are included in transactional emails (like header images, etc).</p>
  
  <p>I get the links using the SDK, and my links look like:
  <a href="https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&amp;id=" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&amp;id=</a>{somefileId}.</p>
  
  <p>This is basically the technique from <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10311092/displaying-files-e-g-images-stored-in-google-drive-on-a-website/11466763#11466763">Displaying files (e.g. images) stored in Google Drive on a website</a>.</p>
  
  <p>This works... most of the time. </p>
  
  <p>Sometimes I get reports of users not being able to download the images. I cannot figure it out what is going on, but I believe it is that there is a limit on how many concurrent or maybe accumulative requests can be done on a given link and/or user account. </p>
  
  <p>I am looking for documentation that confirms this. My specific question is: does anybody know the quota limits imposed by Google Drive? (if you have a link to official information it would be great).</p>
  
  <p>Thanks. </p>
