Google Drive - Dropbox Killer

The word is that Google Drive will launch later this week with 5GB of free storage. While there are myriad cloud storage providers Google's big advantage is years of experience developing APIs that will make it easier for developers to make their software talk to Google Drive. That may prove to be a decisive edge. One of the problems many cloud storage providers have is getting their storage to work with tablet and smartphone apps. Google Drive might be a strategic play that further bolsters the growth of Android in the smartphone and tablet markets.

I'm both excited and annoyed. I've been with Dropbox since its beta, so I don't want to see it lose out. But on the other hand, Google have the resources to create stronger service

I'm from the Internet. Nothing I say is original.

I've got a dropbox account, but I'd drop it in a second to use a Google product.

Hoping the rumours are true.

Everything I have is linked to Google. I don't like having 1-35-84390574386348634 accounts for all my stuff.

At least they will know where I am when something goes wrong.

I'd consider it if it works well, but Dropbox is so seamless these days... plus I've got so much free space from various promotions that moving across would be a downgrade.
