Speculation Heats Up Over A Google Online Storage Offering

January 30, 2009

The clearest sign to date that Google plans an online storage service appeared Thursday on a blog entry by Brian Ussery.

Ussery discovered a reference to a GDrive offering in recently revised software code from the company’s Google Pack, a bundle of software that includes anti-virus protection, photo organizing tools and other features for desktop computers.

Rumors about a planned product have circulated for some time.

The code states that:  “Online file backup and storage… GDrive provides reliable storage for all of your files, including photos, music and documents… GDrive allows you to access your files from anywhere, anytime, and from any device – be it from your desktop, web browser or cellular phone.”

If correct, it shows the product allows access from a mobile phone and is to be distributed as part of Google Pack.
