How to Build One-click Links for Google Drive Rental Posts
Chunk Large Files into 2 GB Chunks Before Sharing Cut every upload >2 GB into 2 GB parts with 7-Zip "Split to volumes" before you create the link; the cloud back-end retries interrupted chunks instead of the whole item, trimming redelivery time by 60–80 %.
Wipe the %AppData%\Google\DriveFS\cached_content folder on PC or ~/Library/Application Support/Google drive Public direct link/DriveFS on Mac whenever uploads stall above 95 %. This cleanup empties the 1 GB secret buffer that chokes bulky videos. Re-open the client; queued items restart within 90 seconds sans re-authentication.
Retry the upload. Server 5xx errors triggered by stale CNAME or AAAA records pointing to overloaded edge nodes clear within 30 seconds. If the issue lingers, run nslookup www.googleapis.com and check the response originates from 8.8.8.8 and yields a 172.217.x.x address; any APIPA 169.254.x.x entry signals the system cache is still poisoned—re-run the clear.
Break the project into tiny deliverables with fixed kill fees: 25 % of every stage is kept if the job dies. Add a usage matrix—social-only, one year, North America costs 1×; worldwide TV forever costs 4.2×. Slot both grids in the quote so upsells look like checkboxes, not negotiations. Late 2023, Copenhagen lettering studio Monotype Nord unveiled a $1.2 k "rapid-revision" tier; 38 % of clients switched, lifting average deal size from $3,400 to $5.1 k with zero extra rounds.
If the same prospect revisits the same file three times in 24 h, replace the standard follow-up with a half-minute screen-share offer; close rate on those calls runs nearly 40 % versus baseline on plain check-ins.

If you live in Figma paste the Slack permalink into Storm for Slack (open plugin). It pulls the latest two hundred messages, screens for 10+ image-hosting sites (Dribbble, Behance, Twitter, Imgur), and auto-imports them to a new Figma page at native scale. Each image is masked inside a 320×320 square and linked back to the original Slack post—keeps you safe on legal credit.
Insert a Drive Folder Link Within a QR Code for Lawn-Sign Scanners Create a 370-pixel QR from the public folder URL with 30 % error correction; PNG at 600 dpi endures rain and UV spray. Print it on corrugated plastic with matte lamination so reflection does not glare the camera. Mount the plate 27 in above grade, tilted slightly—scanners catch it in a flash at 15 mph.
Stage a 30-Minute "Idea Speed-Date" to Double Concept Count Book a silent room, two stopwatches, one stack of A5 cards. Split six people into pairs; rotate every five minutes. Each pair scribbles one headline and three bullet constraints on a card, passes it left, no tweaks. After six rounds you own 36 raw concepts—triple the usual hourly yield.
Run fsck -fv /dev/sda1 on Linux machines before enabling Mirror mode. A single stray inode blocks the database from mounting and spawns the red "Retry" banner for 48 h straight. After the fix, rename drive_db to drive_db.bak, restart the daemon, and sync wraps up at 850 Mbit/s instead of 3 Mbit/s.
Ship to Trello or Buffer Using Built-In API Connector
Snag your Trello API key and token from https://trello.com/app-key and park them into cells B1:B2 of a new tab named Secrets. In A4 fire ="https://api.trello.com/1/cards?idList="&$D$1&"&key="&Secrets.B1&"&token="&Secrets.B2&"&name="&ENCODEURL(C4)&"&desc="&ENCODEURL(D4)&"&due="&TEXT(E4,"yyyy-mm-dd") where D1 carries the target list ID, C4 the post title, D4 the caption, and E4 the scheduled UTC date. Stretch the formula down for every row; paint the generated URLs and execute Tools → API Connector → Request with method POST, no headers, no OAuth. Buffer works the same way: store the profile-specific access token in Secrets.B3 and slam ="https://api.bufferapp.com/1/profiles/"&$F$1&"/updates/create.json?access_token="&Secrets.B3&"&text="&ENCODEURL(D4)&"&scheduled_at="&INT(E4-DATE(1970,1,1))*86400. Set API Connector to pace 1 request per second to respect rate limits (Trello 300 calls/10 s, Buffer 3 calls/min). Stick =IF(HTTP_RESPONSE_CODE=200,"
Convert Scope-Creep Phrases into Paid Change Orders Add a "Change Order" clause to every contract: any task beyond the signed brief triggers a written amendment and 50 % upfront payment before work resumes. List the exact fee per extra hour, page, frame, or revision. Clients accept by ticking a box; no tick, no continuation.
Turn off download, print, and copy if you want prospects to request a viewing instead of keeping the media: hit the settings icon inside the share panel → uncheck Viewers and commenters can see the option to download, print, and copy. Page views remain the same; offline circulation drops to near zero.
