Several users of Picasa for Mac have noticed an interesting menu item: after ...

Ever since Google catapulted itself into the email arena by offering way more online storage space for email than any of its competitors, rumors have been flying that Google was going to find another user for all that server space: online data storage. In fact, some folks have been crafty enough to turn GMail's 5+ GB of storage into a virtual online hard drive. But the official Google hard drive ...

There's more evidence that the mythical GDrive, Google's mysterious Google storage hard drive, could be real. Google has apparently updated the name servers on GoogleDrive.com as noted by Garett Rogers. This could be one of the final steps necessary in launching the online storage solution.

Google acquired JotSpot, the hosted wiki development company, last October, and integration has been a slow process. It initially took a few months to get JotSpot Version 2.9 up and running and integrated with Google systems and released back to those that already had an account, but there has been no news on when it will be publicly available. The last Jot blog entry went over a few changes that ...

It would be great if Google had one single location where every service they are offered was centralized, and it appears they're working on one.

With yesterday's announcement from AOL about 5GBs of online storage, the to-be released Windows Live Drive and rumored Google GDrive, all the major players are making strides into providing large amounts of persistent and easily accessible storage to their users. Except Yahoo! - they've had a storage service forever - Y! Briefcase, but it is dwarfed by these recent developments - 30MB free, ...

There was talk of a Google GDrive in the works a while ago. It was said to be some kind of mass storage area for user to store whatever they wanted, and be able to access it from anywhere. Enter Platypus. Philipp Lenssen got some news about this possible new service, with an archived version from Corsin, who thankfully made a backup of what he came across. Corsin came across this page by doing ...

Goodness gracious, Google's at it again. Not content to store your email and a few paltry text docs on their servers, looks like they want to store 100% of your data online. Don your tinfoil hats kids, we're going to play the "who do you trust" game...
