Google Drive to offer free 5GB of space

Launching next week for Windows, Mac, Android and iOS



Google's cloud storage service will begin next week and will offer 5GB of free space to all users.

Some time ago we informed you about Google releasing its own cloud storage service called Google Drive.

Now, Thenextweb is reporting that they have credible evidences of the service launching the next with for Windows, Mac, Android and iOS offering users a free 5GB account with the possibility to upgrade it paying, like Dropbox.

According to TheNextWeb

Sometimes we get lucky, and today is one of those days. I got a draft release from a partner of Google’s upcoming Google Drive service and it gives away a wealth of information about how Google plans to take on the incumbent Dropbox. The short story? 5 GB of storage, and it launches next week, likely on Tuesday at http://drive.google.com

What’s also interesting is the wording related to how the system will work. It’s been long-thought that Windows integration will come easy, but that getting the Google Drive icon into the Mac a la Dropbox would be a bit harder. From what we’re reading, Google Drive will work “in desktop folders” on both Mac and Windows machines, which still leaves the operation question unanswered.
