I’m not involved with the beta, so I wouldn’t know. I do find it odd since the cloud processing is still hosted by Amazon, regardless of where the data is sourced from. It would be rather ironic that Amazon cloud processing works better with Googledrive than their own cloud storage.
The Cloud processing is not hosted on Amazon. Only user storage is hosted there for those beta users who have linked Amazon Drive. Plex Cloud server and transcoding are currently hosted on Microsoft Azure, although that is subject to change. We are evaluating a number of computer platforms to determine the best option.
