Google Unofficially Announces GDrive By Leaked Code
An anonymous reader writes "Google has unofficially announced the GDrive by source code. In an in-direct way, Google has publicly advertised the new, much-anticipated online storage drive called the GDrive. If you take a look at the source code of some javascript within the Google Pack, you will clearly see the GDrive referenced. The code categorizes the GDrive as an 'Online file backup and storage' device. It also provides the following descriptions; 'GDrive provides reliable storage for all of your files, including photos, music and documents' and 'GDrive allows you to access your files from anywhere, anytime, and from any device — be it from your desktop, web browser or cellular phone.'"
I wonder if this will be as good as gmailfs.
Is that rhetorical sarcasm or something?
How could something INTENDED to be used an online storage be as BAD as gmailfs?
Some karma whore just got +4 insightful for providing a summary of gmailfs and not answering your f'ing question, WTF?
This would most likely be served via WebDAV, so YES, it could be 1000x better than gmailfs.
I really don't understand how you think it could be worse, or even on par for that matter. FTP would be a step up from that hack.
Time to whore it up.. I didn't write this spooge, your brethren at wikipedia did.
"The WebDAV protocol allows "Intercreativity," making the Web a readable and writable medium, in line with Tim Berners-Lee's original vision.[1] It allows users to create, change and move documents on a remote server (typically a web server or "web share"). This is useful for authoring the documents that a web server serves, but it can also be used for storing files on the web, so that the files can be accessed from anywhere."
