Given Google Drive’s track record of rumours of an impending release just like this, then disappearing into the ether for months at a time — I’ll believe this when I see it. But apparently Giga OM has it on good authority that the GDrive will finally see the light of day in the first week of April.
Google will apparently offer everyone 1GB of storage for free, with API integration for third party apps. They’ll also be a desktop client and a web interface for in-browser file access and management. It all sounds a lot like Dropbox to me, apart from Dropbox gives you 2GB of storage for free from the off with lots of opportunities to gain more free space – currently I’m sitting pretty on 10.5GB for free.
Still, more free storage is always welcome, and no doubt it’ll get awesome Android integration. We might see Google gradually increase the free storage like it did with Gmail when it first launched too, you never know. Just don’t hold your breath for it. Google Drive might still disappear into the ether again before April. [Giga OM]

What Is Google Drive?
If it does release then it will have to have more than 1GB to do well. People wont change just because its Google.
15.88gb free dropbox space here, u jelly? Thank you adwords (and recent beta)! I signed upto it which took a few weeks, got a £30 code then just after got £50 so used that instead. I don’t know what to do with the £30 one though since I can’t use it ontop of the other one D:
Oh and apparently there will be a dropquest next friday for more dropbox space I believe.
