Google Drive: It's Official

It's a rumor, no longer. Google Drive was released today.

Google Drive has the potential to become a major resource for local start-ups, team collaborations, business owners, and even for families who like to share photos and videos under the radar of social media.

We have questions for both sides of this new, sparkly cloud service, though: 1) Will people be trusting enough to give up their files to Google and trust its security? and 2) How long until we have to amp up our service to the next tier because we uploaded too much?

Which side are you on? Will you start adding your beloved files to a Google Drive account tonight? Or are you keeping them right where only you can see them on a computer or external hard drive?

I trust Google with my personal information about as much as a pedophile in a school yard. Maybe that was a little harsh but you get the point. Google has officially sold out.

I trust Google with my e-mail, so why not my files? Somehow I think that Google has better things to do than sift through my files, but anything that needs to be kept confidential can be (and is) stored in a TrueCrypt container. Anyone who is not familiar with that particular program, I strongly encourage you to investigate it.
