“Can I upload a bunch of old DVD’s onto Google Drive or Google’s new Photo? I have a bunch of old movie DVD’s I’d love to get rid of but still have access to on the cloud.” – Question from Quora.
Google Drive is Google’s new cloud storage services, like Dropbox, Apple iCloud, SkyDrive. It allows users to store files in the cloud, share files, and edit documents, spreadsheets, and presentations with collaborators. It support 30 types of files, such as document, pictures, HD video, Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop, but problem comes, right? Why can’t we stored directly DVD movies on Google Drive?
At first, Google Drive gives you control over all of your file types in a single place, including video files. Here, we listed the useful features of Google Drive as below:
- Documents are free. Google gives you 5GB of free storage space.
- Upload up to 30 types of files.
- Share files, pictures, videos.
- Utilize Google Goggles

- Install third-party apps
Almost all movies are encrypted with CSS copy protection. Decryption keys are stored in the normally inaccessible lead-in area of the disc. You’ll usually get an error if you try to copy the contents of an encrypted DVD to Google Drive. However, if you have used a software player to play the movie it will have authenticated the disc in the drive, allowing you to copy without error, but the encryption keys will not be copied. If you try to play the copied VOB files, the decoder will request the keys from the DVD-ROM drive and will fail. You may get the message “Cannot play copy-protected files”.
