Mr. Gayle Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 Google is preparing to launch a cloud storage service, Google Drive, sources claim, taking on iCloud and Dropbox with free and paid accounts. Set to open for uploads “in the coming weeks or months” the WSJ‘s insiders say, Google Drive will supposedly undercut Dropbox’s paid subscription pricing, which begins at $10 per month for 50GB. A free plan, meanwhile, will offer both individual and business users some cloud-based space without cost, likely ad-supported like free Gmail. Dropbox also offers a $20 per month plan for 100GB of space. Google Drive is the culmination of “G Drive” rumors and plans dating back several years, with the much-tipped service originally expected to debut in 2007 but failing to materialize. Drive will contain documents, photos and videos, and allow users to share their files via a download link rather than send the content directly through email or similar. There will also be Google Drive apps for mobile devices, it’s suggested, for uploading photos and video direct to the cloud store. Google has declined to comment on the rumored service, but online storage is a relatively small step from the company’s existing product platform. Users are already offered free Gmail accounts, Documents stores, Google Music for audio uploads, and Picasa photo and video galleries, each accommodating several gigabytes of content. Corralling those under a single banner would be no great leap, though Google would likely come under increased attention over the possibility of users uploading copyrighted content.

Kurtis Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 if your sending stuff to specific people http://sendoid.com/ What is Sendoid? Sendoid is an on-demand peer to peer transfer system. It makes transferring any size file between two people as simple as clicking a link! Where do my files go? Directly to the recipient. The peer link provided after selecting a file connects the recipient directly to your machine. Files never touch or pass through our servers. Is Sendoid secure? Sendoid offers security via a 128bit AES encryption algorithm, link obfuscation, and an optional user-set password at the end-point. Always be cautious when transmitting highly sensitive data over a connection you do not control. Are there size limits? Sendoid's web interface limits total transfer size based on the resource availability of your local machine. This tends to be somewhere between 600MB and 1gb. Don't worry, we'll warn you if you try to send or receive a file that is too large. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
