Google Drive to launch next week

According to The Next Web, Google will launch Google Drive somewhere in the next week. Basically, Google Drive is just another cloud storage solution, but then again, it's Google. I should integrate nicely with their already existing products, such as Google Docs, Google Apps, Picasa and Android. Every user is entitled to receive 5GB for free, with the option to pay for more. It's not as much as the 50GB I blogged about earlier, but that was a limited offer.

After Box, DropBox, SugarSync and many, many others, this seems to be like the thirteenth cloud storage provider in a dozen. Let's hope Google can really offer an added value. If you're a fan of Google and their products (like I am), this should be worth checking out. There aren't a lot of details known, but the launch is expected to be on Tuesday 24 or Wednsesday 25 April.

50GB of free cloud storage

Cloud storage service Box has a new Android app available. To celebrate its launch, Box now offers 50GB of free storage if you download the app before March 23rd. For the rest of your life! After that date, you can always sign up for a free 5GB account, or pay for more cloud diskspace.

So go to the Apps Marketplace on your android phone, search for 'box', and install the app.
