Overview of RiceDrive
RiceDrive is a useful tool for downloading videos from M3U8 links and saving them directly to cloud drives like OneDrive. M3U8 is a common video streaming format that breaks videos into small chunks for adaptive streaming. While convenient for streaming, it can be tricky to download M3U8 videos for offline viewing. RiceDrive makes this easy with its built-in M3U8 downloader and cloud drive integration.
