    I'd actually use this if it was true, but as the title of the article says it's only a rumour.

    Rumor: Google Drive Will Give You 5GB of Free Cloud Storage in April
    TalkAndroid's got leaked screenshots saying that Google's cloud storage service will have 5GB of storage and launch the week of April 16. That would put it in line with the 5GB of free storage from iCloud, and a good bit ahead of the 2GB you get from Dropbox by default.

    Previous rumors had pegged the amount of free storage at 1GB and 2GB, with varying release dates, but everyone seems to agree that some time in April sounds about right. We're not sure yet what kind of integration and functionality Drive will have with other Google services, but more free places to stash your stuff in the cloud is always a good thing.

    Of course the tinfoil hat is as a result of anything uploaded/created is their property (I'd have to read the small print first!).

    Doesn't Ubuntu one already give you 5gb of space?

    As does sugarsync. But I've also got 20GB's for 5usd from Google. I wonder if the above launches will they still only charge me 5USD for the 20GB's to use with the drive.

    Microsoft SkyDrive gave me 25gb. (I think that offer is over now though). Standard allocation space is 7gb.
