Google Docs Allows You to Upload & Store Files Online

One of the top services coming from Mountain View, Google Docs is being upgraded over the next few weeks allowing users to upload, store and manage any type of files from their own computer.

Officially announced today in a post on the company’s blog, the new service promises to store up to 1GB of data that you don’t convert into one of the Google Docs formats (graphics, photos, video with a 250MB max size per file). Break that barrier and you’re in for a paid service that will cost just $0.25 for every gigabyte, per year.

“Combined with shared folders, you can store, organize, and collaborate on files more easily using Google Docs. For example, if you are in a club or PTA working on large graphic files for posters or a newsletter, you can upload them to a shared folder for collaborators to view, download, and print,” said Vijay Bangaru, Product Manager, Google Docs.

Looks like the new Google Docs is ready to become an easy storage solution for all your sensitive data, or a replacer for your USB flash drive when it comes to large files you can’t send over email.
