Google Drive... Arrives!

At long last, Google Drive is here.  Note, that currently, Google is rolling Google Drive out slowly, for users who are interested.  For Google Gmail users, you can go to:
https://drive.google.com

... and Google will inform you when they are all set for you to install the Google Drive software.

Here's a great comparison between Google Drive and Dropbox, the current leader in cloud syncing.  We love both -- and if you haven't signed up for Dropbox, check it out!

Note that if you have multiple google/gmail accounts, only one Google Drive account may be used on one computer at a time.  (You may disconnect one account to sync another google account -- but it is not recommended that you do this frequently).

Cloud Computing... As we wait for GDRIVE...

As we wait for Google's GDrive, we have been seeing articles about GDrive being a Dropbox killer.  We LOVE Dropbox as a way of syncing folders and files on multiple computers and the cloud.

We have been using Dropbox for more than a year.  It works great, is easy to set up -- and 2GB of synced space is free.  Check it out:

Google Gdrive -- coming at last?

The fabled Gdrive might finally be coming out.  Rumors are flying that at long last, Google will finally release its version of a useful cloud computing application.  Dropbox has been growing in popularity; and Apple has released its iCloud.  We look forward to Google's version, which is expected to be released the first week in April.  

According to Om Malik at GigaOm’s sources, we should see the long-awaited Google cloud storage service, Google Drive, next month.

He says that “sources familiar with the company’s plans” have marked the first week of April as the release period. Google Drive (or possibly GDrive) has been rumored for over half a decade, but has yet to materialize while services like Dropbox and Apple’s iCloud have flourished. A Google cloud storage service wouldn’t be anything revolutionary, it’s just surprising to many that it hasn’t happened yet.

Dropbox -- Great for File-Sharing

There is lots of talk about the "cloud" -- but one application we like a lot is Dropbox.  They offer a free account (2GB), and it is easy-to-use.  You can share a folder with others in a "Public" folder -- or just keep things to yourself.

By installing Dropbox on each of your computers you can:

• Save a file to all your computers at once.
• Start working on one computer, and continue working on another.
• Get to your photos, docs, and videos from anywhere.

Always have your stuff when you need it with @Dropbox. 2GB account is free!
