Google Drive will be launched in early April

Very soon, according to some web resources, another service of Google will be launched. This service is Google Drive, which represents a cloud service for storing user data. Google Drive will probably “intersect” with similar music service Google Music, but only some features will be similar. Interestingly, the rumors about the appearance of Google Drive appeared back in 2006, and since then this information no-no, yes, and pops up. But now, as far as can be understood, everything is already quite serious and reliable.

Not so long ago, Google Docs service has the ability to store user data. It may well be that Drive will use this feature, but only significantly improved and expanded. Anyway, last month, the Wall Street Journal wrote about Google Drive. Now about the file storage from the "Corporation of Good" write already very many publications, close to IT.

According to some experts, Google Drive can become a serious competitor for Dropbox - after all, Google has a huge army of users who will immediately take advantage of the new service as soon as it comes online. This is really the right service, so you can predict its rapid development. It is unlikely that he will repeat the fate of the same Google Music, which its creators are not yet very pleased with.

According to some reports, Google Drive will initially offer 1 gigabyte of file space as a free package. To ensure convenient work with this service, a special software package will be released, a local client. But you can use the web interface. Extensive opportunities will also be provided for third-party developers who will be able to create all sorts of software packages and services based on Google Drive (both paid and free versions).
