Google vs DropBox
 
Another interesting Google move trying to retain users getting into everything. :Oh crap

Quote:
Cloud computing just got a lot more accessible. Google Drive announced Thursday it was lowering the price of its cloud storage service, incentivizing those who were happy to use only the free 15GB of storage to pay for more.

Google will now charge $1.99 per month for 100GB of storage down from $4.99, and $9.99 per month for 1TB versus $49.99.

The storage Google (GOOG) provides is actually shared between Gmail, Drive and Google+. Those who are already paying will be automatically placed into the new payment plan.

This means that Google provides more storage than any of its competitors, and at a cheaper rate too. This might pose a problem for the valuations of popular cloud storage companies Dropbox and Box, both of which were planning on going public later this year.

Your reference to the first Google result for "FTP Google Drive" is 2 years old and incorrect
Google Drive works with Cyberduck & GexploreFTP

People can use Google Drive as a server backup by installing it on their server using any directory as their main folder to be synced to Google Drive :thumbsup

google drive does not allow for automatic photo uploads from cameras, Microsoft skydrive does tho and gives you 13 gig of space for free

For collaboration and flexibility I still think Dropbox is better. I use both though.

Also Google is going to become Skynet in about 5 years and conquer humanity.

"It"?

Your response is useless.

I mentioned two software programs and a third option of installing Google Drive on a server to use as backup.
