Google is close to launching its Google Drive file storage cloud service.

The search giant plans in the coming weeks to seriously disturb the nerves of Dropbox by launching its new project, Google Drive, which will be designed for cloud storage of user files.

No special differences from existing solutions on the market, such as DropBox, SkyDrive or Box.net, apparently, are not planned. Quite traditionally, users will be able to access their files not only from a computer, but also from mobile devices. The amount of available disk space is not yet known, but it can easily be assumed that for a mass attraction of new users, the offer of the search giant will be very attractive.

The Google Drive service will be free for both individuals and companies, however, an unknown amount will have to be paid for additional space on the servers. It is also expected that the service will become part of Google Apps, and not, as one might imagine, the incredibly fast growing Google network, according to Google itself.

It is worth recalling that back in 2007, Google planned to launch the G Drive service, which was supposed to allow music and documents to be stored on the Internet, but these plans were never realized.
