iClarified - Apple News - Google Drive Officially Launched [Video]

[Owen Densmore]

So Google Drive is now here: http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=21545

Here's an interesting summary of all the cloud drives out there: 

Google Drive vs. Dropbox, SkyDrive, SugarSync, and others: a cloud sync storage face-off:

So:  how many of us are using Dropbox? .. and are we looking at these new and slightly different other cloud-disks?

I'm using Dropbox and loving it .. but I wish their for-pay options were sweeter.  Google certainly does a better job there, but is just out of alpa .. and who knows when it will be out of beta!  :)  I'll likely use it too, having my Google Ecology in that cloud disk.

If anyone is using GD (Google Drive .. and ...!) let us know how it goes.

Well, here's yet a new twist on clouds and books:

Amazon Releases 'Send to Kindle' App for Mac OS X (PC too)

http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html/?docId=1000778781

You can put anything you'd like on your kindle ecology, just drag n drop to the app, or even more interesting, "print" to the kindle!

Its getting so that you store your music on one cloud, your books on another, and so on.  Dropbox is still the simplest, and easiest to understand model but we'll see.
