Watch out Dropbox - Google is coming


Google's long-anticipated online storage service, Google Drive, should launch next week, with 5GB of free storage space for users.

A leaked screenshot that provides purported details about Google Drive has been posted by Talk Android, an Android news website. "It's free and installs in seconds," the pictured text states. "...Put files in Google Drive and you can access them on your desktop, mobile phone, or tablet, and drive.google.com."


Google declined a request to either confirm or deny the authenticity of the image.
Google Drive will be competing with Amazon Cloud, Apple iCloud, Box.com, Dropbox, Microsoft SkyDrive, and other online storage services. It will be hosted at drive.google.com, though presently the URL is not functional.
