Google Drive Launch

The Google Drive logo.

Google has just unveiled their newest gadget, Google Drive. Made as a competitor for Dropbox and Skydrive, Google drive uses the same method, cloud storage. Google Drive offers free 5GB storage right off the bat, compared to Dropbox's 2GB, and Skydrive's 7GB in the new update - users previously had 25GB.

Users can pay more money for more storage. The highest amount of storage available is 16TB for $800 dollars a month! Not sure who'd need 16TB of storage, but there's a huge backup hard drive!

Google has also integrated a search feature, allowing users to search by keyword, or filter by owner, file type, and activity. There is also an integrated image search feature.

Wait! There's more after the break.
