How to Sync iTunes Movies to Google Drive

Google Drive is a file storage and synchronization service provided by Google. It is a multi-functional service which enables users to store files in the cloud and share files with others. Google Drive offers all users an initial 15 GB of online storage space. Users can keep pictures, documents, ebooks, music, recordings, videos – anything on it. But to users' disappointment, not every video can sync to Google Drive, such as iTunes videos.
iTunes Store is one of the largest stores which has movies, music, games and other applications available for sale to customers. Chances are that people purchase or rent videos from iTunes. But when people download movies from iTunes, they will find that the Digital Right Management (DRM) limits them to enjoying the movies from many aspects.
