Mountain View's crew are preparing the launch of Google Drive, a similar approach to Google Docs but with files.
Dropbox, Skydrive, iCloud, the future is in the cloud! and Google knows it. For that reason, they have created Google Drive, a file storage service that will be launched in the coming weeks and off course, it will be free of charge becoming pay-required if you need more storage space.
Android app and possibly iOS and Windows Phone ones will be available for its debut.
According to 9to5Google:
Google Drive has been rumored to launch for quite awhile, as a competitor to the popular Dropbox. Google Drive will be a file locker, where users can store their files to be accessed from anywhere. Think Google Docs, but for files. Tonight, Wall Street Journal says Google will be launching Google Drive in the coming weeks or months, citing people familiar with the matter.
More than likely, Google will also release a Google Drive Android app. Users will be able to quickly grab the files they upload via the web, and grab them for use on their phones.
WSJ says Google Drive will run for free, but like Google Docs, will cost more money as more data is used. We’ll keep you updated as the launch draws closer.
Get ready for the cloud!
