Your course is one forwarded Drive link away from being free.
DriveGate locks your Google Drive folder to paying buyers only. Each buyer gets access with their Gmail — granted automatically, expired automatically, revocable in one tap. Your files never leave your Drive.
No card required · Works with the Drive folder you already have · Set up in 4 minutes
You already know how the leak happens.
- You sell a course. You send a tidy Drive folder. It feels professional.
- One buyer forwards the link to a friend. The friend forwards it to a group.
- Two weeks later your $99 course is in a Telegram channel for free — and strangers are messaging you for support.
Manually adding Gmail addresses in Drive fixes this… for your first 20 buyers. By buyer 100 you're spending your evenings in the Share dialog instead of making your next course.
Same Drive folder. Completely different rules.
Connect & lock
Pick the folder you already sell. DriveGate removes the public link and turns off download / print / copy for viewers.
Add the buyer
Paste one Gmail — or import a CSV of 200. DriveGate grants view-only access to exactly those people, and gives you a ready-to-send message for each buyer.
Forget about it
Access expires on the date you chose. Need to refund someone? One tap and they're out in under a minute. DriveGate checks your folders every night and fixes any public link that sneaks back in.
What you get
Buyer-only access
Forwarded links hit Google's "Request access" wall. Every time.
Auto-expiry
30, 90, 365 days, or lifetime. Set it once per product.
1-tap revoke
Refunds and chargebacks handled in seconds, not screenshots and arguments.
Bulk import
A whole launch cohort in one CSV.
Nightly lock check
If a folder goes public again, DriveGate locks it and logs it.
Your files stay yours
DriveGate never downloads, hosts, or copies your content. It only manages who can open it in your Drive.
What DriveGate can't do.
No software can stop someone from screen-recording a video or photographing their screen — anyone who promises you that is lying to you. What DriveGate stops is the leak that actually costs most creators their sales: the shared link, the forwarded folder, the buyer who quietly gives access to ten friends. Lock the link, and you've locked the front door.
Pays for itself the first time it stops one leak.

Questions
Do my files move to DriveGate's servers?
No. Your videos, PDFs and files stay exactly where they are — in your Google Drive. DriveGate only manages the sharing permissions on them.
What does my buyer need?
Just the Gmail address they gave you when they bought. They open the folder link while signed into that Gmail. The link simply won't work for anyone else.
Can buyers still download my videos?
You choose. By default DriveGate sets viewers to view-only with download, print and copy turned off in Drive.
Can a buyer share their access by sharing their Gmail login?
They'd have to give someone their actual Google account password — almost nobody does that for a course. And if one account looks abused, you revoke it in one tap.
What happens when access expires?
DriveGate removes that buyer automatically — no manual cleanup, ever. Buyers can check their own access status any time on the access checker page.
I sell on WhatsApp / Telegram and take payment manually. Does this still work?
Yes — that's exactly who it's built for. Take payment however you already do, then add the buyer's Gmail. Webhook automation for Stripe / Gumroad is on the roadmap; CSV import covers launches today.
What if it doesn't work for me?
Every plan starts with a free 14-day trial, and the Lifetime deal has a 14-day money-back guarantee. Email support and a human (the founder) replies.
