In the meantime, Google kept upgrading their documentation platform i.e. Kindly note that the GDrive rumor started on web in year 2006 and still there is no such service launched yet by Google. It is not yet a confirmed news but as per these reports, Google may launch the service with name as GDrive in the very first weeks of April, 2012. Rumors are also flooded about the free storage that Google is going to provide with the application. Now as per some reports on Internet, Google is planning to launch their own online data storage and sync application, just like Dropbox. Box.net is an alternative for online storage service which does provide features like embedding pictures, videos, MP3 from their hosted servers. For example, Dropbox (an amazing service for online data storage and sync) is really good if you want to have important files accessible from anywhere.

Other benefit of these services is to have access to stored files from anywhere using any device.Īpart from the big cloud storage services like Amazon S3 and CloudDrive, the small services are also doing well in the industry. It is safe to have backup somewhere other then the local storage. Apart from the local storage, we need cloud storage to take online backup of important files like documents, pictures and in some cases media files like videos and music.
