Update regarding the rewards
🕑 Added 2018-10-01 10:48:48 +0000 UTC Hello Patrons!Thanks to all of your support, I believe our first drawing session was decently successful! At least, for a first time.
Now, for the rewards! I am currently looking into the best way to deliver the .jpg/.psd files at the moment. I've sent an inquiry to Patreon support if they have any suggestions since I feel like there's a better way to handle this matter instead of using external services such as Dropbox.
I'm sure all of you are quite eager to receive your files so if I can't find a better way within a few days, we'll settle with Dropbox.
Edit1: Gumroad seems interesting! I'll take a look into it.
Edit2: I believe Patreon doesn't support .psd or other complex image files. (Not to mention .psd files can easily become huge)

I’ve also seen people use a password protected Wetransfer link. The link/password is sent as a message to patrons and it expires after a certain amount of time.

You can upload rewards as attachments here (psd, rar, csp...) and for larger files, 500 MB and higher use dropbox or other service

Gumroad is a good solution (filesize limit : 16Gb), or Google Drive (aka Google One which will soon offer 2TB for the 1TB current price).
just stop giving them advises how to handle things ... this is so annoying for anyone. trigger is doing fine.

Because you have a lot of supporters just be aware if you use the free Dropbox there's a 20 GB/day limit on the total traffic for all shared links. But would love to see Patreon supporting .zip or arbitrary extensions!
Nope
I support many many creators. Usually I see: - Add the rewards as an attachment to the Patreon post. This only works for small files. - Add the rewards as a Google Drive/Dropbox link. This works for bigger files. - Put the rewards on Gumroad and give Patrons a link to redeem them for free. This works best when you want Gumroad anyway (for example to sell previous rewards), because it costs money.

Yeah Google Drive seems to be the most effective - then you just provide the link in a locked Patreon post to the Tiers you wish to have access. Awesome stream by the way, I really enjoyed it!

Many artists I've seen on Pateron use Gumroad as a distribution service, avoiding the issues of unpaying scrapers and allowing to potentially sell/distrbute the art in the future. I'm not sure of the costs of using Gumroad, though.
Most other creators that I've supported do use Dropbox/Google Drive to share PSDs and videos, might have been one of the most feasible approach :)

Consider enabling this feature on Twitch, so people who didn't have time (or simply couldn't) join the livestream, can atleast watch the recording: <a href="https://help.twitch.tv/customer/portal/articles/1575302-videos-on-demand" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://help.twitch.tv/customer/portal/articles/1575302-videos-on-demand</a>#enable 😉

Patreon allows to post similart to this and upload files as well, choosing who gets to see it or not according to pledge levels and similar. I bet that could help!
