Google Disk, GDrive, finally Google Drive is going to live in a few hours maybe.

Google is offering cloud-based storage for photos and other online content, and is likely to offer 5GB (gigabytes) of free storage with more available for a monthly fee.

This makes sense.

Cloud computing today is about build application in Google App Engine, store content in Amazon storage and use Facebook to do authentication. With free storage offered by Google Drive, developer can concentrate on Google APIs for development. If Google Plus could overcome Facebook one day, Google will take control of Cloud Computing Universe.

With more and more people put their personal music, videos, photos into cloud, a potential "digital inheritance" issue could be left behind after people died. So I reckon Google should offer the first ever Google Funeral, offering online legal, memorial, care and comfort services, along side with Google Drive's release.

Google driving towards the cloud?
