The service has the potential to eclipse even Gmail, Google’s second best-known product after their google.com search engine. That said, it’s no wonder users have been ripe with anticipation for years - yes, that’s how long the rumors have persisted. Gdrive is basically online storage where Google servers have enough capacity to hold the entire contents of your hard drive. It will likely also come with enough brains to do cool tricks now with bigger things down the road - like booting your computer from online drive to load the Google operating system. Gdrive is basically a cloud-based storage that should have two faces: A desktop client that keeps local and online files and folders in two-directional sync via a web interface for accessing your desktop files anywhere and anytime, using any network-enabled computer. In addition, it will come tightly integrated with other Google services to enable editing of supported document types, like spreadsheets and presentations via Google Docs, email via Gmail, images via Picasa Web Albums, etc. This opens powerful possibilities. For instance, you could start working on a spreadsheet at home and continue via Gdrive web interface accessed in an Internet cafe. When you arrive back home, changes to the spreadsheet have already trickled down from the cloud to your desktop. The idea, of course, is all but revolutionary, but Google’s execution could set it apart.
Sounds interesting. So we are moving towards the mobile era I guess. Wish our desktop computers were smaller so we could carry them everywhere.
They keep promising with their marketing guys throwing "screenshots" taken from Gmail code that show references to gdrive etc. but they are always too late to deliver real. Just like Microsoft being late to MSN adcentral as competition to Adwords program. Now people already have purchased Mozy Carbonite and AMazon S3
Seems promising, let's see how it will goes ?? I love Google, they are offering a bunch of helpful services and after all it's FREE Thanks for sharing dude.
