Commentary: Google Drive joins storage wars

The Drive arrived Tuesday offering 5 gigabytes of free storage, integration with the popular Google Docs service, and powerful search features that can scan text inside images. The good news is that anybody with an Internet connection has access to tons of free storage. Dropbox founder Drew Houston listed Google Drive as a possible competitor to Dropbox in his original application to Y Combinator, more than five years before Google Drive launched. Storage size: 5 GB for free, but content purchased from Apple (such as music and TV shows) don't count against your limit. The service includes Photo Stream, which allows you to store the last 30 days of photos taken with your iOS device or imported from a camera to your Mac or Windows computer, and automatically pushes them to each of your iCloud devices. ICloud was the last service to be introduced on stage by Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, who resigned two months later amid worsening health. While the company has shifted its focus to medium and large-sized businesses. it tries to make its storage platform attractive to mainstream consumers as a way of attracting new consumers to its enterprise offering.
