Google Drive starts with 5 gigabytes

The rumors about the launch of a free service of the cloud hosting Google Drive (GDrive) go with 2006, but now they are closer than ever to embody in a reality. Is called even a specific launch date - April 16, and a certain amount of free disk space in the cloud, which will receive each user of five gigabytes.

However, on the scale of Google five gigabytes - very little. On the market there are services that offer more space, take at least the same Microsoft SkyDrive (25 GB). Output on the market with such a mediocre proposal is not like Google. If you remember, as they ran postal service Gmail the first of April 2004, that all thought it was an April fool's joke, because one Gigabyte of free space in 50-100 times more, than at competitors, seemed to be something totally unreal.

In addition, the imminent appearance of the new service is confirmed by changes in the reference sections of the site Google, for example, in an article on the joint editing of files to Google Docs. At some point in this article, see the mention of Google Drive.

Now they say that 5 GB of free will each, and additional space can be purchased for $5 a year for every 20 GB.

True if the rumors were, or are they for the tenth time will prove to be groundless"we will find out very soon, just two weeks.
