On Tuesday Google announced that in a couple of weeks it will start providing file storage as a part of their Google Docs offering. This statement makes Google another online storage provider similar to Amazon S3, Microsoft Azure, Nirvanix, and others.
According to Google you will be able to upload to Google Docs any file up to 250 MB. You'll have 1 GB of free storage for files you don't convert into one of the Google Docs formats (i.e. Google documents, spreadsheets, and presentations), and if you need more space, you can buy additional storage for $0.25 per GB per year.
While we believe that the most advanced and mature storage currently available is Amazon S3 the pricing structure makes Google very attractive to home users and small businesses. By the end of Q1 2010 we are going to start offering the version of CloudBerry Backup that will automate data backup to Google Online storage. Stay tuned!
