What is the limit for Google Drive?

Individual users can only upload 750 GB each day between My Drive and all shared drives. Users who reach the 750-GB limit or upload a file larger than 750 GB cannot upload additional files that day. Uploads that are in progress will complete. The maximum individual file size that you can upload or synchronize is 5 TB.

Yes Google Drive website publishing feature does have quotas in place.

While we can't share the actual numbers, please note that websites hosted on Google Drive will be able to handle large loads which should meet the needs of most users publishing personal content.

However this is not intended for serving resources for very-high traffic websites (e.g. millions visits a day). Also there is currently no way to increase your quota. If you are looking for a professional solution for a high traffic website have a look at Google App Engine.

When the quota is depleted a 403 HTTP error will be served for the remaining of the 24h period.

According to this discussione looks like they don't apply a limit on the bandwidth: link

The same should apply for the publishing feature. Looks like that they didn't put a limit to compete with services like Dropbox (which does), but obviously they should take measures in case of abuse.
