United States : Google launches storage service for personal files
Publish Date : 26-Apr-2012
Google is hoping to build the world\'s largest digital filing cabinet in the latest attempt to deepen people\'s dependence on its services.
The Internet search leader began its pursuit of the audacious goal on Tuesday with the much-anticipated debut of Google Drive, a product that stores personal documents, photos, videos and a wide range of other digital content on Google\'s computers.
By keeping files in massive data centres, users will be able to call up the information on their smartphones, tablet computers, laptops and just about any other Internet-connected device. Content can also be more easily shared among friends, family and co-workers by sending links to the information instead of e-mailing large attachments.
Google Drive is offering the first five gigabytes of storage per account for free. Additional storage will be sold for prices starting at US$2.49 (S$3.11) per month for 25 gigabytes up to US$49.99 per month for one terabyte, equivalent to five laptops with 200-gigabyte drives.
