7 Possibly, but easy to test. Download the file from drive to local

10 If the problem is a limitation of the Drive player, maybe the best
11 approach is to not use drive and use something like Syncthing to keep

14 I use Syncthing on several computers and Android devices and it does a
15 very good job of keeping things in sync. It has the added benefit of not
16 needed connectivity when you want to listen to the files as they will be
17 synced while the phone is connected to your home network.
