G-Drive launch imminent?
This post was published 3 years 4 months 24 days ago and its content may not be valid anymore.Google is expected to offer “infinite” storage to anyone with a Google Account worldwide. Accidentally leaked on the Google website illustrates Google plans to offer a service, most likely named “GDrive” to allow users who would have the option to upload word documents, e-mails, web history and photos to the search giant’s servers online.
“The online copy of your data will become your Golden Copy,” the leaked documents confirmed. Presumably, users will be able to access their files anywhere across the globe, assuming there’s an active Internet connection, and save the original copies as backup files.
It seems that Google is not positioning themselves to be the next Box.net. There are plans to possibly restrict or limit the file types that can be uploaded to your “GDrive” account.
Imminent is an interesting word when referencing an article almost 4 months old (I mean, you could say it’s been 4 months! It should happen soon, right?). I’d really like this to happen though.

I bet hotlinking isn’t offered unless an upgrade or something. Despite Box.net’s slowness, it’ll do.
Don’t you guys already us the GSpace Extension in Firefox?
