Google Drive cloud storage service launching soon, says WSJ

Google Drive, a long rumored cloud storage offering from the search giant, is apparently set to be launched soon, according to the Wall Street Journal. Unfortunately, that window is still a vague "weeks or months," but it is said to be a free service for basic storage with "large amount of files" coming at an additional fee.

The service would take on services like DropBox and Box.net directly, possibly undercutting the popular web storage and sync solution on price. In addition to syncing files between your computers and Google's servers, Google Drive service would also presumably integrate with Google Docs and other Google services. Google also offers those services to business customers, and Google Drive is also said to play a role there, perhaps as an easy way for coworkers to share files.

Last month, TechCrunch noticed that the error messages on drive.google.com changed slightly, which hints at Google making changes to the site in preparation for a launch. It's a natural next step for Google, so natural in fact that many have found it strange that Google has taken this long to offer it. The next Google I/O developer conference isn't until late June, so hopefully the company won't wait until then to launch.

Ontopic, isto só pega se meterem um storage mais simpático do que o free do Dropbox.

Aponto assim para os 10GB ou então não mudo do Dropbox.

Além disso, isto é bom para o Dropbox fazer mais campanhas de Free Storage etc etc ;)

Se for minimamente parecido com o google music ou com o docs, em termos de usabilidade, facilidade de utilização, multi-plataforma, e integração com o Droid por exemplo, será certamente um sucesso

O google music é um sucesso?

Falei da plataforma não da abrangência em termos de utilizadores.

mesmo assim considero um sucesso, pelo menos no universo do g+ e dos utilizadores Android e da quantidade de pessoas que utilizam a partilha e não tanto a compra, e sim é top

Tens algo parecido melhor?

Já circula uma data de lançamento, primeira semana de abril

obviamente que existe uma opção grátis cuja capacidade não se sabe mas deverá rondar os 20Gb como na google music, ou até partilhar segundo dizem

Deverá existir uma opção ilimitada que deverá ser 20USD mês

Top :D
