After years of rumor, Google has finally launched its own cloud service,
Google Drive. Google Drive is the new name for Google Docs, and it's
"where you can create, share, collaborate, and keep all of your stuff."
That stuff includes Google Docs, videos, photos, PDFs and more.
.
Because it belongs to Google, Google Drive offers some services that the
smaller cloud storage services can't. In addition to integration across
Google services such as Gmail, Google+, and search, the service includes
maturing technologies such as Goggles, which makes photographs of famous
sites, newspaper clippings, or street signs instantly searchable. Google
also is integrating optical character recognition (OCR) technology that
can transform a PDF or TIFF into a searchable document.
.
To coincide with the release of Google Drive, Google is boosting the free
storage for Gmail users to 10GB "and counting." If you subscribe to any of
Google's tiered plans for Google Drive--the cheapest is $2.49 a month for
25GB--Google will increase your Gmail storage to 25GB as well.
.
However, not all of Google Drive's features are in place yet, and the
Terms of Service hint at a loss of privacy many users won't anticipate.
Google Drive is an improvement over Google Docs, but it's been released
without many of the features that promise to elevate it above other free
consumer cloud services such as Box, DropBox, SugarSync, and others. In
typical Google fashion, Google Drive right now offers only the basics,
with a promise to develop it over time, much the way Google+ has evolved.
Google Drive seems to be staging the same limited initial release. Is that
for buzz or to manage growth? The deployment of Google Drive is different
than Google+, which quickly went viral, especially among techs who were
all begging each other for invitations. Google is making Drive available
to only a limited number of Google account holders.
