Key Considerations for Your Decision
-
Internet Stability: If you have high-speed, unlimited, and stable internet, Google Drive is often more convenient as you can start studying immediately without waiting for courier delivery.
-
Storage Management: For subjects like DT, IDT, and FSCM, lectures are voluminous. You should ensure you have sufficient hard drive space (often 50GB–100GB+ per subject, depending on the faculty) if you choose Google Drive.
-
Portability & Convenience: Pendrive classes are better if your internet is slow or limited. However, you must handle the physical drive carefully to avoid loss or damage.
Summary
If you have reliable, high-speed internet, Google Drive classes are generally faster and more accessible. You do not need to stay connected to the internet to watch the videos once downloaded, though you should check the specific terms of your chosen provider regarding software license validation. If you have limited data or slow speeds, Pendrive classes are a safer, more reliable option.
