Google to Offer Free Online Storage Dubbed “My Stuff”
November 27th, 2007 2:33 PM | by Christen da Costa | 7 Comments
Google will begin to offer a web based storage system in the coming months – no word on official release date just yet. Dubbed “My Stuff” – at least that’s the internal name – will be free and then cost the user a few green backs (no word on price) if they’d like additional storage beyond a certain point. Google intends to make the service seamless, such that you can access the device from your desktop, or phone, as if it were an external hard drive on your desktop – bandwidth allowing of course. A number of services, such as iBackup and Yahoo’s Briefcase, already exist. Just do a Google search for ‘free online storage’ or checkout the below chart (credit to WSJ). Currently, Google offers a number of free storage systems such Picasa for pictures and GMAIL email (it can be modified to serve as storage system). The addition of “My Stuff” to Google’s arsenal of free tools is yet another means of pushing folks to a ‘web based computing world’ where they can monetize your eyeballs.

I tried Xdrive’s paid service and was very disappointed with the service. Uploads were extremely slow when it would even connect. I could never get the desktop version to work. Sharing files was complicated and didn’t always work. Often I even had trouble logging in. I ended up cancelling the service after trying for a couple months to work out the bugs. I’m looking forward to Google doing a better job.
Please provide us with convenient and safe online storage for space for all of our stuff.
