Well, almost here:

Click that to see screenshot.

# Backup. If you lose your computer, grab a new one and reinstall Platypus. Your files will be on your new machine in minutes.
# Sync. Keep all your machines synchronized, even if they run different operating systems.
# VPN-less access. Not at a Google computer? View your files on the web at http://troutboard.com/p.
# Collaborate. Create shared spaces to which multiple Googlers can write.
# Disconnected access. On the plane? VPN broken? All your files are still accessible.

Note that troutboard.com domain - registered to some geezer in California - Patrick Chan

Who wants to take bets on how fast it'll break once live?

Data mining bliss for them!

odd. I've read around and it seems that perhaps that "sneak peek" was meant for intranet IPs only and for Googlers to share business knowledge (of course through testing their gdrive product). Still interesting.

Turns out to be another Digg thread: http://digg.com/software/Google_s_GDRIVE_Project_Leaked!!

Most interestingly: http://cocaman.ch/_platypus/ - see the source for hidden Google comments.

I wonder which legend will register the platypus names... You think they will have any value?

Hm, were the links on that page, or the images, working when you posted that?

No, that's just a text only cache.

It would seem that once someone found it that it was taken offline -- Looks promising, wonder how much space we'll get for free

It's fake people.

If you what storage, use the Gdrive extension.
