It is no secret anymore that Google is testing a new storage service codename Gdrive or Platypus. Infinite storage. Universal access. Larry Ellison’s “Network Computer” has finally arrived, and it’s Google that brings it to life. This is the perfect answer to P2P file sharing, now this makes me wonder how in the world is Google going to make money from it? Is it a hoax?

According to the original source - Geekness, Google has these features to offer:

  • Backup. If you lose your computer, grab a new one and reinstall Platypus. Your files will be on your new machine in minutes.
  • Sync. Keep all your machines synchronized, even if they run different operating systems.
  • VPN-less access. Not at a Google computer? View your files on the web at http://troutboard.com/p.
  • Collaborate. Create shared spaces to which multiple Googlers can write.
  • Disconnected access. On the plane? VPN broken? All your files are still accessible.
