Bandwidth limits for Google Drive Publishing?

Does anyone know what bandwidth limitations exist with the new website publishing feature for Google Drive?

What if I serve music or other large files through these pages?

Yes, the Google Drive website publishing feature has quotas.

While we’re unable to separate the actual figures, please note that websites hosted on Google Drive will be able to handle heavy loads that should satisfy the needs of most users publishing personal content.

However, this is not intended to serve resources for sites with very high traffic (for example, millions of visits per day). Also, there is currently no way to increase the quota. If you're looking for a professional solution for a high traffic site, check out the Google App Engine .

When the quota has been exhausted, an HTTP 403 error will be raised for the remaining 24-hour period.

According to this discussion, it looks like they are not applying a bandwidth limit: link

The same applies to the publish function. It seems that they did not set a limit to compete with services such as Dropbox (which does), but it is obvious that they should take action in case of abuse.
