Google’s long-rumoured cloud storage solution looks finally to be breaking cover next month.

Expected to launch in the first week of April, it’s not only got a rough release date, but also a name; the GDrive.

Tipsters are claiming that GDrive will offer 1GB of free storage space at launch. We’ll take that with a pinch of salt, as it would immediately put the service at a disadvantage when compared to rival Dropbox, who offer 2GB for free, straight off the bat.

Sources also claim that GDrive will run off a local client, using a Google Docs-like web interface to manage files stored on it. An API for third-party developers is also thought to be included, allowing other apps to download and upload to and from GDrive.

Google have replied to the claims with their stock, “we don’t comment on rumors or speculation,” response.

So what do you think of Google’s rumoured plans? Like the idea of having another Google product to add to the convenience of Gmail and Google Docs, or are you a dyed-in-the-wool Dropbox fan? Let us know in the comments section below.

  • 政府は30日午前、野田政権が最重要課題とする消費税率を2段階で引き上げる消費税増税関連法案を閣議決定した。これに先立ち野田佳彦首相は、閣議決定反対を理由に連立政権からの離脱方針を表明した国民新党の亀井静香代表と会談し、再度慰留したが、亀井氏は応じなかった。一方、同党から入閣している自見庄三郎郵政改革担当相は法案の閣議決定に署名し、同党の分裂が決定的になった。
