Google Drive
Google are ramping up the works on it’s cloud storage service as we are getting closer toward the expected product unveil date. The service is called “Google Drive” and it is similar to Dropbox and obviously a response to Apple‘s iCloud.
According to a leaked screenshot by TalkAndroid, Google Drive is set to offer 5GB of free storage and files can stay in synch and be accessed via computers, mobile phones, tablets and web browsers.
Google Drive is expected to launch on April 16th.
Box.net offers 50GB of free storage to iOS users
Box.net has announced they are offering a promotional free 50GB of storage to iOS users, beginning at 12:01 PM PST Friday, October 14th. up to the next 50 days. Cool ha?!
Follow these steps:
- Use your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch to visit the App Store and download the App.
- Log in to your account or register for a new one directly from the app.
- That’s it
On top of 50GB of free storage, accounts will receive an increased file size limit of 100MB instead of 25MB. Box.net has over 7 million users, and the app was recently updated to support iOS 5. That means the app supports AirPlay.
The 50GB of storage is ten times what Apple’s iCloud service offers users for free, and is being offered free with no strings attached. A comparable amount of storage on DropBox would cost $9.99 per month, and a comparable amount of storage through Apple’s iCloud service would cost $100 per year.
Box.net can be used to store photos, documents, videos, music, or other digital files safely on Box.net’s servers.
