The rumors are flying hot and heavy that Google will start offering online storage. Ya, you get space with Gmail and with their online photo storage service, but this would be generic storage space.
It will be interesting to see how much ‘free’ space Google offers and how much they will charge for additional space. Online storage sites have come and gone, so it will be interesting to see what Google’s business plan is.
Personally, I see this as useful for road warriors. Keep your data in the cloud access it when you need it from your netbook. For back up, it could be useful, but there are services that do this already and are optimized for backups.
This will become interesting when the GDrive integrates with Google docs and I’m accessing it on a netbook running Android.
