Google is finally about to big-foot its way into the cloud storage business, according to a report in The Wall Street Journal.

With its ?Drive? or ?G-drive? service ? which has been talked about for some time? Google would take on some very popular consumer-oriented cloud storage entrants, notably Dropbox and Apple?s iCloud. People use these services as virtual closets for their digital photos, documents and music. Once their material is in the cloud, they can access it from many devices.

According to the report, posted late Wednesday:

The Google service, which is expected to launch in the coming weeks or months, will be free for most consumers and businesses. Google will charge a fee to those who want to store a large amount of files, the people familiar with the matter said.

Drive would be yet another in an array of new consumer services from Google which addedGoogle+ web conferencing and collaboration in June to compete with Facebook and Skype and Google Music which stores users? audio collections. Google retains its lead in Internet search but has seen less success in with these newer, ancillary services. Still, adding consumer cloud storage service is another way for Google to leverage its prodigious infrastructure.

Dropbox has seen huge adoption ? it claimed more than 45 million customers last fall. Customers use it not only for archiving their pictures and documents, but to manage and sync those files between devices.

But it?s not just Dropbox and iCloud ? there are several competitive services likeBackBlaze all of which offer free storage up to a point ? in Dropbox?s case up to 2 GB. Users with up to 50 GB of storage pay $9.99 a month. There are also more business-oriented cloud services like Box, (formerly Box.net) that are also gaining traction.

Given the proliferation of millions camera-toting cell phones and the explosion of digital music, the appetite for cloud storage is likewise booming. It makes sense for Google to fight for its share of that action.

Calm down there fella. It wouldn't have hurt to put your personal opinion separate at the bottom of the post, would it?

hahaha... that's funny.... I dont know what the problem is with +what but that was just crazy!!!

Calm down there fella. It wouldn't have hurt to put your personal opinion separate at the bottom of the post, would it?

That doesn't matter go to other topics everyone makes some comments on top of the article..

if you read the guideline for posting article from other website all news article should be in quotes which I did and anything outside would not be news.

https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/819526-guidelines-on-posting-from-other-sites/

alright, I am calm now... forget about it....

You can pretty much use google docs for this already. I have been.

many apps/tools out there to auto sync files and such as well.

and yea, microsoft's SkyDrive should be added, since its 25gb for FREE.

And there are also sync tools for this, but you can also do what i did and mount your skydrive as a drive in windows, which works much better than google docs IMO.

yeah I totally forgot about SkyDrive... I cannot edit my Original Post any more its locked.

+what I think you should calm down. I think you were one of the few who were dumb enough to think it was a fact. When I read it the first time I knew right away still1 was stating his opinion with the 10GB pricing.

Well that would be nice if it was true. I just think it should have been separated.

Or to put it in a language you probably understand better: I think you're retarded to think that. You are such a total dumbass for not getting my point. And to think I've been anything but calm is extremely gay of you.

I hope I am being clear enough now ;)

So you didn't look to see which forum you posted it in? If you don't know about something you could always say so. Making up random facts is stupid.

Well, there was no justification for calling me dumb. I presumed you had to use that level of English to understand what was being said :)

Why Mr Pot you are looking awfully black over there.

    • Limited time Prime Day deal cuts price of this Hisense 65" 4K smart TV in half by Ivan Jenic It’s Amazon Prime Day, and brands are offering great deals to consumers. One of the best deals of the day is definitely this Hisense 65" U7, which is currently $799.99 on Amazon, down from $1,499.99. That's nearly 50% off and $700 saved on this feature-packed 4K TV (purchase link down below). The U7 uses Mini-LED backlighting with up to 3,000 local dimming zones and up to 3,000 nits of peak brightness. That means blacks are truly deep and highlights are punchy enough to hold up even in bright rooms. The screen is covered with a dual-layer anti-reflection coating, which prevents the afternoon overhead lights from washing the picture. For gaming, the native 165Hz refresh rate and VRR 330 support make this one a great TV option for PS5 and Xbox Series X. The TV even features a native game mode, which should help minimize the input lag for a better gaming experience. Audio is handled by a 2.1.2 channel system tuned by Devialet, which is a notable partnership for a TV at this price. Additionally, Dolby Vision IQ, Dolby Atmos, and IMAX Enhanced are all supported. It runs Fire TV with Alexa+ built in. So, if you’re looking for a sharp, large screen to watch the World Cup on, the U7 at this price is definitely an attractive option. Speaking of which, Hisense is the official sponsor of the World Cup, which should mean absolutely nothing to you, and isn’t the reason why you should by this TV. The reason why you should buy it is that it’s “la bella televisione, HDTV-compatible, beautiful,” and available at half the price. Hisense 65" U7 Mini-LED 4K Smart Fire TV - $799.99 | 47% off on Amazon Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Re: Capitalism. It's just 1 of dozens of economic models currently-adopted worldwide; most national models separate money from politics thereby limiting the influence wealth carries over the economy (due to limited tentacles wealth politics has over the broader economy). The "American model" of unfettered financial influence should NOT be the variant of pure capitalism adopted worldwide. More regulations formulated within this variant is effectively useless due to the misalignment between regulatory objectives and fundamental influence wealth politics carry over the market. Re: enough money. Without constraining the breadth/depth/scope/scale that any measure of money/wealth can have within a market, there will always inherently be those who have "enough money" and those who do not. Those without "enough money" will always lose -- regardless if a bedroom DJ, indie developer, or million-dollar corporation going against a billion-dollar mega-corporation. The evil is the absence of guardrails against the influence of wealth; not the mere existence of wealth. Re: dragged through the courts. The liberalist nature of litigation does not exclude anyone, anywhere, for any reason for getting dragged through the courts. Rather than formalize remediation pathways for various perceived ills, everything is left up to flawed interpretations... and this is where a litigation-averse community fails to thrive (thus a losing proposition when dragged to courts). Everyone should have more protections and clear remediation strategies! Going to an alternate remediation arbitration is OK so long as the case review and remediation processes are clear and transparent. For corporations, hit them where it hurts: automatic financial penalties. (PS: This is where corporate risk management strategies would do well to behave more ethically.) Overall, failure to truly shake-up the incentive core and regulatory extremities of the economic market will necessarily mean that all other actions are simply applying lipstick on a pig. Change begins from the inside. Is the root cause of the problem that a majority of consumers within a market goes for Option Brand-name versus Option Indie? Or that brand-name is spending foreign money to control domestic markets? Or that money is the objective measure for success across all walks of life? Or that deep pockets dictate the moral and ethical rights/wrongs of entire societies? Regardless of the answer (and there's nothing inherently wrong with being a socialist or communist or whatever label your surroundings deem 'cool' or 'uncool') there's a common thread: If a market truly wants to nurture domestic innovation, then performative finger-wagging will do nothing to that end.
