I've noticed that some people share content through Google Drive, but there's an important oversight to consider: your name is visible. For those who may not know, when you click 'Open With' and then 'Details,' it reveals the name of the account holder. While this isn't a concern if you're using a disposable account, it can lead to privacy issues if the account is your personal one.

The part highlighted in red is the aforementioned issue. Be wise and protect your privacy — consider using a disposable Gmail account.

Best regards,
MentaL.

Ty for this post, however I never use real names in anything online so I think I'm good but I double checked anyway.
Remember when this was taught to us as kids when the internet first came out?
Never use your real name online, never post pictures of yourself online, never give out any personal information online.

Ah yeah!
My OG online name was Murderous_Virus
I got annoyed at having to keep spelling that, so I changed to Thawny_Devil 🤣

PT world moving along as it does, slowly but surely.
Some really nice private servers out there keeping the game active.

Use the RZ forum upload for small things!!!
Smartest thing you ever said. We allow upwards of 10mb per single file via our resource attachment system.


Whilst I do not want to be a hub for files and dealing with DMCA (which is out of our ). I do feel its underused.
