Here's a little known trick for video sharing using Google Drive. If you have a video you want to share but don't particularly want to share it on Youtube, you can upload to Google Drive and then embed wherever you like.

Here are the steps:

• Go to Google Drive and hit the upload button (the one with the arrow pointing up next to create)

• Find the video you want to upload and upload it. Choose the option to convert to Google format (I haven't checked if it works if you don't do that).

• Open the video with Google Drive viewer

• Click on 'file' and then 'Embed this video'. If you have set the share settings to public then you can embed it anywhere and people can see it.
