GDrive, Google's Project for Infinite Storage

As you know, GMail is the most generous e-mail service in the world when it comes to storage capacity, the Google product managing to get every competitor on their knees. Another thing you probably know is that you can map your GMail account so that Windows sees it as a separate drive.

Currently, this is done with a third party application which is not approved by Google.

As DailyTech.com says, many people are using the invite system and the application mentioned above to create countless virtual drives.

Still, is seems that Google hasn't overlooked the possibility of allowing users to store all their information on the company's servers.

A recent document which leaked over the Internet and was later removed by Google talked about a new service called GDrive, which will allegedly provide users with unlimited space for their files. The feature would allow them to access all their data from any Internet-enabled location and device.

On the other hand, considering the latest scandal involving Google and the Department of Justice, a few natural questions arise which cannot be answered right now. Two of the most important are related to Google's ability to guard the information from curious invaders, including the authorities, and the transfer speeds that would damage the service's popularity.

We announced you a few days ago that Senator Ron Wyden has a new legislative proposal which might bar large high-speed Internet providers from charging content companies extra in order to receive preferential treatment, including a wider bandwidth.

Google is one of the companies supporting the project, which is not surprising considering that the search engine is planning such bandwidth-hungry services.
