This morning, Ars Technica’s Jon Brodkin reported on newly leaked images of Google Drive, a rumored cloud storage offering from the web storage king. Gmail already offers more than 7 gigabytes (GB) of email storage, so the question was, what will Google Drive offer. From these leaked images — the validity of which is unverified — the answer is 5GB, even though last week it was 2GB.
In the last few months rumors have swirled any many have speculated on when exactly Google is going to jump into the consumer cloud storage market. Companies like DropBox and Box both offer gigabytes of free storage so that anyone can access their PDF’s, pictures and documents from any web browser. Despite not yet having a dedicated service, Google is still the web’s storage giant, so such a product is inevitable.
Have your say: Will you take Google Drive for a ride if 5 GB is on offer? Should the folks at DropBox be worried?
