Google "G Drive" online backup service rumored to be launching soon

January 27th, 2009 - Posted by Joe

Several online sources are reporting the imminent release of a new online file storage service from Google. The service, dubbed "G Drive" after the common naming system of other Google products like Gmail and G Docs, will presumably allow users to store large amounts of data online for free.

So, how will Google's G Drive stack up against services like other top rated online backup services Carbonite or Mozy? Obviously, we won't know until the product actually materializes. However, our impression is that this service will be more appropriate for remote storage for files that you may need to access from multiple location or computers rather than for scheduled backups of all your important files.

Google has not confirmed any pending release date for the G Drive (or even the existence of the G Drive) at this point. However, we will continue to follow related news and developments in an effort to keep our readers informed about key changes in the online backup space.

In the meantime, you can read our reviews and comparison of online backup services at NextAdvisor.com.
