    As for the "Suitable for Mum, not slashdotters" comment, its 100MB of webspace for free

    That makes it suitable for me - even just to use to transfer large files around (when I'm behind a firewall that only lets port 80 through)

    FTFA, this sums it up -

    What is the difference to other web hosters? Google Pages lets you create your site online, but it has neither MySQL, PHP, nor FTP support. You see its NO replacement for a common web hosting service, but it is almost PERFECT for users who want to publish their last holiday photos or theirselves. They need no knowledge about web hosting and HTML developing. Of course FTP is important for professional webmasters, but private users dont need FTP or MySQL. They need an good but easy web hosting solution.
