Chicago (IL) - Google Drive, or Gdrive as it is better known, has to be the most
anticipated Google product so far. When it arrives, Gdrive will likely
cause a major paradigm shift in how we use computers and bring Google
one step closer to dethroning Windows on your desktop.
The service has
the potential to eclipse even Gmail, Google's second best-known product
after their google.com search engine. That said, it's no wonder users have
been ripe with anticipation for years - yes, that's how long the
rumors have persisted. Gdrive is basically online storage where Google
servers have enough capacity to hold the entire contents of your hard drive. It
will likely also come with enough brains to do cool tricks now with bigger
things down the road - like booting your computer from online drive to
load the Google operating system.
Gdrive is basically a cloud-based storage that should have two faces: A desktop client that keeps
local and online files and folders in two-directional sync via a web
interface for accessing your desktop files anywhere and anytime, using any network-enabled computer. In addition, it will come tightly integrated with other Google services to enable
editing of supported document types, like spreadsheets and
presentations via Google Docs, email via Gmail, images via Picasa Web
Albums, etc.
