Hello, How much friends I can add for share my Plex Cloud server with Gdrive?..

Check the FAQ of Plex Cloud:
"How many simultaneous streams can I have?

Each Plex Cloud server is limited to 3 concurrent transcode streams. If a stream is fully “Direct Play” it will not count against that limit, however “Direct Stream” will. "
So I understand it that in theory you can share to as many friends as you want, but only three parallel transcoding operations are allowed/working. If google will accept that, I don’t know.

So if I use ‘‘Direct Play’’ and Google Accept that, no there limit? thanks!

That’s right. But keep in mind that also audio transcoding counts. But if your friends use a device like the raspberry Pi which can direct play nearly anything, than you should be fine.

If my friends doesn’t use the Raspberry Pi?.. Well, thanks!

This was just an example since I know that the Pi can handle nearly every kind of media directly without transcoding. There are other devices which will work equally well. I also own a PS4 and that for example needs a lot of transcoding, probably mostly due to audio. Just as an example…
