Google Drive - Simultaneous Downloads

I have direct download links (urls) of about 200 files in my google drive. How many people can download any of these files at the same time.

Is there a limit on simultaneous access by other users to my Google Drive file urls for read only access.

Thanks, Gagan

There is no limit to the number of people who can access a file at the same time. Read access has no effect on this.

There is a Quota Limit to how fast the application doing the download can run and how much it can access at the same time.

To view your allowed quota please create a project in the Google APIs Console. In the "Service" tab, the default quota allowed for each service is indicated.

Currently for the Drive API it reads "Courtesy limit: 1,000,000,000 queries/day". It's a per app quota.

After you've enabled the Drive API you can also set a per user rate limit (by default 1000 req per 100 sec) to prevent one user from depleting your app's quota. That's available in the "Quotas" tab.
