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.

    • Payday TWO!! Is 13 years old man I feel old - I remember trying it out and if I did not know I would say 5-6 years ago or something
    • Payday 2 engine upgrade adds 64-bit and DX11 support, drastically shrinks install size by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Payday 2, the most popular entry in the heisting game franchise, is getting a surprising update after all these years. This is slated to be a complete engine upgrade that will enhance almost every aspect of the 13-year-old title, targeting performance, loading times, file size, rendering backend, and more. Developer Sidetrack Games is planning a beta to test out the new version ahead of the full public launch. The development team today revealed that the long-awaited upgrade to the 64-bit architecture is happening with this Diesel 3.0 engine update. By letting the game use more ram than 4GB, it is said to improve stability and compatibility on most hardware. It should also help modders in the long term with implementing larger changes too. "While many of the changes are made on the backend and not everything will be visible to you guys because it is a massive rewrite of the entire codebase, there will be a lot of things that you can look forward to," Sidetrack explained. Payday 2 will also hop over from DirectX 9 to 11. Instead of visual improvements, this is slated to reduce the amount of VRAM used by the title, letting more lower-end hardware access the title and run it better. Since these changes would require a complete redownload of the game anyway, Sidetrack says it has revamped "the game's packaging and bundling system." This should reduce the installation size from 86GB to 32GB. "So, now it's time to finally move the game to your SSDs," added the studio. The Payday 2 Diesel Engine 3.0 update is entering open beta on June 30 for Steam users. No console release plans were announced today. Sidetrack Games says it has been working on this complete rewrite of the codebase for the last nine months. While these changes should break most mods, the studio encouraged modders to use the beta period to repair their creations with support from the development team.
