Google is Bringing GDrive for Your Data
© manfrys
So, I am drafting this on my Google Documents account; I saw the news item via a Google News Alert, but before I wrote it, I checked my Google Calender to verify that I didn't have another writing idea. Man, Google owns me, and I am about to give them more of my world. GDrive, Google's ubiquitous storage solution, seems to be closer to reality than ever before.
Rumors are one thing, but when the rumors originate from within Google's own support documents, it is another thing altogether. Buried deep within the Latest Google Pack software bundle is the following description of a Google storage solution:
"GDrive provides reliable storage for all of your files, including photos, music and documents … GDrive allows you to access your files from anywhere, anytime, and from any device – be it from your desktop, web browser or cellular phone"
Who knows, this might be just enough to push me away from MobileMe and Exchange. Currently, Gmail offers well over 7GB of storage, if the GDrive is even in that neighborhood, and if it works like the other Google programs, then I will definitely be sold!

Hi. Just to let you know, I work for http://www.nomadesk.com. We offer easy and secure file sharing, wherever you are. Being online is not required. I read your post on Google’s GDrive with great interest and just wanted to add NomaDesk to the mix in this discussion.
NomaDesk has already been on the market for some time, and we offer similar features geared specifically 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. A Mac version is on its way.
So,
I would appreciate your review.
