I was hearing this since long back now [if you google for GDrive, you will see the results and news since 2007!], and, yes, this is to come true in 2009! Well, there are many players offering free storage online like the latest "Hordit" which gives you unlimited storage and freedom to store almost everything from your documents, photos, videos, feeds etc. Others include - SkyDrive from Microsoft with 25GB [but the file size is limited to 50mb], Mobile Me and Back to my Mac from Apple.Google Drive, or Gdrive as it is better known, has to be the most anticipated Google product so far. When it arrives, Gdrive will likely cause a major paradigm shift in how we use computers and bring Google one step closer to dethroning Windows on your desktop. - tgdaily.comWhat Google's GDrive is offering is a storage for your entire life - either free or at a small fee. Still then, there are many unanswered questions like the file size limit and privacy of my documents? And how it is different from my existing Basic Storage? You may find this interesting, too!

Hi. Full disclosure here: I work for www.nomadesk.com, which offers easy and secure file sharing, wherever you are. I read your post on Google's GDrive with great interest and just wanted to add NomaDesk to the mix.
ReplyDeleteIn fact, NomaDesk has similar features and is geared towards the need of the "digital nomad". We are convinced that the more data gets synchronized, the more likely it gets compromised. Therefore, NomaDesk includes an encrypted virtual drive that keeps your files securely available off-line and remote file shredding and IP-tracking with TheftGuard. Of course, we impose no limits on storage and bandwidth.
The current NomaDesk release 2.6 displays file states and indicate whether files are already in use by someone else. You are also able to add and review notes (i.e. meta-data). The Mac version is on its way.
I would appreciate your review.
