Google Drive? |
Google Drive is purely focussed on file storage and synchronisation. And it would be launching with a free 5GB offer. Now this would be a definite blow to Dropbox, which is still the leading service in legitimate cloud storage. Dropbox users get 2GB of storage for free and then can pay either $10 or $20 per month to upgrade to 50GB or 100 GB of storage. It also matches the free 5GB offerings from companies Box.net and SugarSync. Dropbox may be forced to increase its free 2GB to 5GB offerring.
Google’s biggest advantage, other than its massive user base, is that it can easily integrate other popular services into Google Drive without having to rely on third-party developers to build the connections. For example, you may be able to save your Gmail attachments directly into Google Drive and access them offline. Or you may connect Google Docs with Google Drive and edit your online documents on a desktop without requiring external synchronization apps.
And because Google Drive will work with your existing Gmail or Google Account, it also means that you have one less password to remember.
