Google GDrive – Cloud Storage from Google.
Search Engine Land and other blogs are speculating that Google is about to release a new storage service dubbed the GDrive.
The name is not official and will most likely be something else, but us users have already agreed that it will be called the GDrive (and Android is the GPhone, not Android).
Search Engine Lands points to the interview in which Todd Jackson is quoted saying:
“We know people’s file sizes are getting bigger. They want to share their files, keep them in the cloud, and not worry about which computer they’re on. Google wants to be solving these problems,†Jackson said.
This suggests that something is in the works and we can expect news very soon. The question is – will it be free? With tough economic times it does not make sense to invest millions in storage facilities without clear guarantee for revenues. Google has been monetizing Image search, news and everything else. It has also cut workforce and other costs. My guess would be they are not in position to spend millions on Gdrive and service will be partially free, with few gigs of storage and an option to get more for money.
