Google now will officially allow uploading any file into the cloud. If you used to use Gmail drafts to save some work online, you can now stop doing that and use Google Docs. You don’t have to carry a storage device with you anymore. All the data you need to access somewhere else can be simply uploaded to Google Docs. The file size limit is presently 250mb. This is a threat to other such paid services, which don’t allow storing more than 2GB without payment.

You can also use a shared folder to share the files with anyone else. For more information, check out our post on the Google Docs blog.

If we look in the past, Gmail changed the way we used our email. It came in with a serious blow to yahoo. The email storage space and attachment size it could provide at that time was the largest in the market and made people to shift to it. Even presently Gmail gives huge storage space which  increases every second. I can see a similar trend building up in the cloud storage section again.
