On January 12, 2010 Google announce that,
over the next few weeks we will be rolling out the ability to upload, store and organize any type of file in Google Docs. With this change, you'll be able to upload and access your files from any computer -- all you need is an Internet connection.
Instead of emailing files to yourself, which is particularly difficult with large files, you can upload to Google Docs any file up to 250 MB. You'll have 1 GB of free storage for files you don't convert into one of the Google Docs formats (i.e. Google documents, spreadsheets, and presentations), and if you need more space, you can buy additional storage for $0.25 per GB per year. This makes it easy to backup more of your key files online, from large graphics and raw photos to unedited home videos taken on your smartphone. You might even be able to replace the USB drive you reserved for those files that are too big to send over email.
Combined with shared folders, you can store, organize, and collaborate on files more easily using Google Docs. For example, if you are in a club or PTA working on large graphic files for posters or a newsletter, you can upload them to a shared folder for collaborators to view, download, and print.
You can also search for document files you've uploaded or that have been shared with you just like you do with your Google documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and PDFs. And you'll be able to view many common document file types with the Google Docs viewer.
This is a great news for all and also I am Waiting anxiously for this.Just not because it’s gave free 1GB storage, because this storage is given by Google.
Although there are number of alternative are available for free online storage for documents and files in which the Skydrive is the most famous.It’s gave 25GB for storage instead of 1GB but the main problem is that it have maximum limit for each file size is 50MB instead of 250MB in Google Docs and also the Upload and Download speed is very slow, which make it’s unusable.I hope that the upload and download speed is also batter than others in Google Docs, because it is provided by Google.
Now you have to wait until this feature will be enabled for your account over the next couple of weeks — look for the bubble notification when you sign in to Google Docs. If you don’t have an account in Google Docs then go to Google Docs and Login with your Google account.
