And the price is great! I will most certainly give it a shot.

#72Well, this pretty much exhausts the pool of people who don't care for the data privacy. On the plus side, those who do want privacy are still waiting for a proper solution, and it is an opportunity. (edit) It is really shocking how absolutely mind-bogglingly ignorant people are when it comes to their data privacy matters. How could any business person in a sane state of mind choose to share its data with some 3rd par…

#74Here's the most important paragraph in the blog post that most people will gloss over (because Google glossed over it): "Drive is built to work seamlessly with your overall Google experience. You can attach photos from Drive to posts in Google+, and soon you’ll be able to attach stuff from Drive directly to emails in Gmail. Drive is also an open platform, so we’re working with many third-party developers so you can d…
I'm really looking forward to see this because the few apps that used Dropbox for this where brilliant, for example CineXplayer on iOS to store videos.

#75The official blog says you can buy 100 GB for $4.99 a month. If I go to my google accounts settings page to try to buy it, itsays 200 GB for $50 a year. Something is not lined up correctly. I'd pay $50 right now and get rid of Carbonite if I thought it would pay off, but I don't want to get stung paying $50 for the wrong type of storage.

#76"Drive is also an open platform" Working with select third-party developers does not make something an open platform. A documented API makes something an open platform. Even a command-line client for a popular web-server operating system makes something an open platform. Google Drive is not an open platform yet.
Here's the API https://developers.google.com/drive/v1/reference/
Thank you, that helps. It would have been nice for Google to link to it in their announcement.

Interesting. I didn't see any reference to them in a quick scan, but it would be great if this worked with Web Intents as well.

#78Earlier quoted context omitted.
That is incorrect, you are looking at the old Google account storage costs. These are different and may supersede the old pricing. You can get started with 5GB of storage for free—that’s enough to store the high-res photos of your trip to the Mt. Everest, scanned copies of your grandparents’ love letters or a career’s worth of business proposals, and still have space for the novel you’re working on. You can choose to…
Do you have a link? Their pricing is confusing as hell, no clear information anywhere.

#80Bland new gdrive logo is going to really annoy the UK Natwest bank which has had one 'very similar indeed' for many years.
