Google to launch file storage service to users
Posted by Evan Fell on November 28, 2007 at 11:40 AM
Google Inc. is planning a new way for consumers to store files on its hard drives. The company is preparing a service that allows users to store all of the files that they would usually keep on their personal computer hard drives.
The company would allow users to store files such as word-processing documents, videos, music, and images. Users of the service would be able to access their files via the Internet from different computers or mobile devices with the use of a password. The service would also allow users to share their files online.
The project could change the way consumers buy computers, making it possible that big hard drives to store files will no longer be needed. People familiar with the new project say that the company plans to allow initial storage for free with some fee for additional storage.
It is likely that with the launch of the project, Google Inc. will face copyright issues because of file sharing between users.
