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!!!

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.
