Taking cloud computing to a new level, Google is soon going to launch 'GDrive', a long-rumored online storage for its users.
GDrive would work as an online hard disk and could essentially work as a syncing device that will periodically update itself with the activities that take place on a computer, the Google Operating System has discovered.
Also discovered in a Google Apps CSS file is that there is reportedly an update for Google Docs on the way that would include a desktop client for syncing files with GDrive.
Since this drive will allow users to save their data online, users will be able to access their data from any computer in the world, as long as it is connected to an internet connection.
In fact, if you take Google provisions seriously, you've probably already shifted your photograph and document base to atleast one of the Google services that work as great archiving hubs. However, space restriction and reliability could be a user's concern while depending on the Google servers to save their precious data.
The GDrive could also partially replace the physical hard disk that a user needs to select an operating system (OS) for usage -- that is, after the initial booting. Google's online hard drive will merge all of Google's web based applications and make them available together.
The GDrive is expected to be launched in 2009.

The most important thing here is the user need to be asured of the privacy of his/her data and how much it is prone to get disclosed to others.

I appreciate the new and highest grade of technology (GDrive) hard disk google operating system. This will improve the competency of (my) computers beyond imagination in future. I would rather prefer my system to be among the first series to be installed with GDrive hard disk operating system or replace my hard disk. Keep it on Google.
