Google GDrive Should Be Free

Google is going to launch the GDrive – online storage for it users. I really hope that this rumor is true. The GDrive could transform computing.

Online storage presents endless opportunities for how users could use files and media. Massive online storage would allow user to store all of their data in one central place which would be accessible from any place with Internet access at any time.

All of your documents, photos, music, videos, files would be easily accessible. No longer would computer users have to worry about losing their precious memories if their hard disk drive crashes. No longer would users not have access to their content because they weren’t with their computer.

When will the GDrive be launched?

The Wall Street Journal has stated that Google might release this new service in a couple of months.

But will the GDrive be FREE?

According to the Wall Street Journal article, Google is planning to give a certain amount of storage for free. However, if you want additional storage you will have to pay. I hope that this isn’t Google’s business model.

Google is known for providing free storage (Gmail, Google Documents, Picasa) and free services (search, Google Documents, Google Videos). Google pays for these services through advertising. Certainly Google can figure out a way to recoup its storage costs with ads. After all, Google is the king of online advertising.

So come on Google. Give us the GDrive for free!!
