Report: Google hosted storage coming in a few months

Posted by Elinor Mills

Google's much-rumored online storage service should be available in a few months, according to a report in The Wall Street Journal late on Monday that cites unnamed sources.

The service would allow people to store any kind of data on Google servers and access it from any computer with an Internet connection. An unspecified amount of storage would be offered for free with additional amounts available for a fee, the report said.

Google spokespeople did not return calls seeking comment on the report. A spokeswoman for the search company reached by the newspaper declined to comment on any specific plans but said "storage is an important component of making Web (applications) fit easily into consumers' and business users' lives."

The news is hardly new and certainly not surprising. Rumors of a hosted storage offering from Google, dubbed "Gdrive," have circulated for a while.

The move would raise the stakes in Google's rivalry with Microsoft, whose productivity applications rule the desktop world. Google has been releasing hosted e-mail, word processing, spreadsheets, calendar, and other programs that compete with Microsoft. While consumers are attracted to the online services of Google's, corporations have yet to sign up for security and functionality reasons.

Microsoft offers a hosted storage offering of its own, which it renamed Windows Live SkyDrive this summer and has readied Office Live Workspace, a free online tool for viewing, sharing and storing, but not editing, Office documents online.

Google executives espouse a digital world where people can access their data from anywhere in what is called "cloud computing."

eu sunt multumit si de rs dar daca intra si google in joc cu atat mai bine poate mai lasa rs din preturi

[moubik]

sunt foarte nemultumit de rs. si urasc toti oamenii care il folosesc

wikiupload.com bate rs, si gdrive o sa bata mult

[xZu]

mie nu-mi place deloc rs..cel mai tare ma enerveaza faptul ca tre sa astepti cam mult ca sa downloadezi ceva(mai ales cand sunt mai multe parti),eu recomand pentru fisiere mai mici fileshare.ro

[moubik]

timpul acela de asteptare poate fi bypassed cu javascript. ca pana la urma timpul de asteptare este generat tot cu javascript.

cred ca gasesti un snipplet deja facut pentru greasemonkey (firefoxaddon)

timpul de asteptare intre downloads diferite este din server din cate am observat eu. si nu e asa usor de bypass. well, de fapt poti sa folosesti proxy si e usor (daca nu au folosit si altii inaintea ta acelasi proxy de curand).

Merge si cu javascript dar n-are rost sa te chinui cu proxy, baga cu aol, la fiecare conectare aol schimba ip-ul (Rapidshare Owned) !

[spiderx]

rapidshare este bunicel...altfel nu l`ar folosi toata lumea....nu sterge fisierele decat atunci cand nu se mai contorizeaza download timp de o luna (cred) pe fisier.viteza de download este relativ buna...in functie de net....si multe alte lucruri!

intradevar asta cu timpul este o prostie din punctul nostru de vedere...dar ei isi scot bani bunicei cred
