Everyone ElseEveryone else offers this, Skydrive (or is it LiveDrive?), Amazon, Apple ... so why not Google?
Please make the damn thing mountable from within the OS without the use of a 3rd party tool (similar to Dropbox) please ... | |

Re: Everyone ElseCloud storage is overrated. I have 50Gb with box, 25Gb with skydrive, 5Gb with dropbox, and i barely use any of these services. 100mb file size limit kills it for me. | |

A lot of Google's cloud services for Android OSes already are (Picasa comes to mind). Google's Music cloud service is available simply by updating the music client (currently beta, but probably soon to move to a full-blown push soon enough).
Unfortunately though, everything else (Google Docs, Voice, etc.) still requires a separate download. One almost might call it native since they offer web-based HTML 5 support...but not really. | |

Re: I'm sure...Dropbox is a frontend for Amazon's S3. It would be faster and cheaper to build it themselves. | |

Google Music...Google Music Beta already lets your store many gigs of music for free in "the cloud."
They also already store any documents you open with Google Docs in "the cloud." And they store pictures for you with Picasa web.
And almost 8 gigs of emails stored for anyone with a gmail account for free.
So I don't see why they wouldn't just let you store anything you want at this point. It only seems logical. | |

Re: Google Music...because its overkill. they were late to the game to even do this. others been there and done it and hell even Flikr was out before well before Picasa.
And FYI Karl- drive.google.com isn't working- error 404. | |

Re: Google Music...I prefer Picasa to Flickr, especially now that, via G+, images up to 3MP are free to upload (though FB has the same functionality). | |

Ditto with everyone else. Very interested to see where Google takes this. Everything else they have done so far has been fairly well done IMHO. | |

yesYes Please, Sounds cool.... | |

G-Drive already exists...Last year Google Docs became a kind of online storage service when they started allowing the upload of any file type and file sizes up to 1GB. Also, their storage rates cannot be beat - 200GB for a mere $50 per year! » www.google.com/accounts/ ··· eStorageMix in something like 'Super Flexible File Synchronizer' for automated backup/sync and you have a very complete solution. » www.superflexible.com/200GB Google storage + a 'Super Flexible File Synchronizer' family pack license equals a total annual cost of $100. Dropbox wants more than twice that (~$240/year) for 1/2 the storage (100GB). | |

Re: G-Drive already exists...Interesting.. and Why would anyone buy the 1 TB option? 20 GB ($5.00 USD per year) $0.25 per GB 80 GB ($20.00 USD per year) $0.25 per GB 200 GB ($50.00 USD per year) $0.25 per GB 400 GB ($100.00 USD per year) $0.25 per GB 1 TB ($256.00 USD per year) $0.256 per GB lol | |

Already got one with the Moto purchaseWith the purchase of Motorola Mobility, Google will soon be in control of Zumodrive and Zumocast, both of which were bought by MM a few months ago. Zumodrive is almost exactly like DropBox (upload content to the cloud for access from any computer or iOS device, with 2 GB of free storage), while Zumocast allows you grants you access to any folder you want (no size restrictions) but the host computer must be online at the time. Zumocast is also kinda like a SlingBox in that it will transcode most popular video formats on the fly and stream them over the net to you. For instance, I can have access to my entire video collection on my iPhone as long as my computer is powerful enough to transcode it in real-time. Video quality is surprisingly good for being transmitted over 3G. I'm really hoping that they *know* that they now own these pieces of software and won't let them randomly die. Sadly, I'm not very optimistic about that. | |
