Got it thank you moose

Step 0: Upload videos on a phone or computer on drive.google.com, or get someone to share them with your Gmail account.
On your Switch: (Without the DNS enabled)
- Go to Album -> Choose any Photo or Video
- Press Sharing and Editing -> Post -> Choose a user if asked
- Choose Post to Twitter (Uncheck "Link Account")
3b. If you're already linked, unlink it first. - In the top right, choose Sign Up for Twitter and wait for a bit.
4b. If you can't sign out and are already signed in, go to: System Settings -> down to System on the left -> down to Formatting Options -> Reset Cache - Click Sign Up with Google but don't sign in yet!
- On this page, click Help in the bottom-right-ish
- Tap Sign In now in the top right and actually sign into your Google account
7b. Let it save your password to make this quicker in the future! - Click your Google user icon in the top-right, and then Manage your Google Account
- Now tap the square with 9 gray dots next to your icon in the top-right
- This menu will appear for a few seconds, then disappear and act really glitchy. If you look at it quickly, you can see the Google Drive Icon appear right about in the bottom-middle of the menu.
- Click on the Google Drive Icon before it disappears.
11b. You can click around the page and go back and forwards to reset the menu timer. - You're at Google Drive now! Either use Shared with Me on the left, or find the file in the main list.
- Click the three vertical dots next to the file you want to view, and then tap :eye: Preview at the top of the menu.
- Finally the video player will pop up and you can press the Play icon once or twice, after the player finishes loading
It's a lot of steps, especially the first time, but it fully works and requires no homebrew, and will allow you to watch as many Google Drive videos as your account can hold.
Keep in mind this is all using the Share applet from Album, not the DNS. In this applet you can only visit: Google, Twitter, and Facebook, but video works (unlike on the DNS).
@VGMoose this is how i discovered the dns cuz i was trying to access google but failed and that led me to switchbru lol

when i click on the three dots in google drive and press preview it always asks to reload the page what do i do
-
@basselisnice I’ll check again later today. First thought is the video may be too large, second thought is you might have to convert it into another format (like mp4 instead of mov)

@VGMoose they got rid of twitter, so what i found out now in order to access drive is you can so all the same steps by going to the facebook login scrolling down to where they have all the blue clickable links at the bottom of the page, pressing facebook lite clickable link, pressing "get it on google play" then when you get there, press the profile button in the top right corner of the screen and then press sign in with google then proceed with the same steps as you described in Twitter 💪
