One habit which I love about Google., testing and rolling out new products and features frequently. People usually refer me as a pro-Google guy and I might need to agree with their views. TechCrunch reported of Google testing a new product, more of an online storage tagged as Google Cloud Picker.
Google has designed a simple tool for adding media content from various Google services. Users or mainly Bloggers would now be able to benefit from other sites and services such a allowing Blogger to insert images or videos from Picasa and YouTube.
Google brings in a unified way of embedding content you host on your blog or company site. Besides browsing for content, users can also search for it across the content. Might want to add one more thing, whatever feature or product Google brings out, seems new whereas somewhat a similar feature by Microsoft already existed but consigned to Hotmail only.
Most of you might be flocking the web in order to get the first look on Cloud Picker but unfortunately the product is visible to a limited number of Google Apps users.
Google made the Cloud Picker available a little earlier while it wasn’t supposed to be rolled out. The internet search giant reported:
Oops… looks like someone pushed some code too quickly. It’s not quite ready for prime time yet but stay tuned!
3 Responses to Google To Introduce New Online Storage Device – Google Picker
I am looking forward to enjoy this service. A much needed serviced by google.
There are a number of online storage solutions out there like Drop Box and OnlineStorageSolution.com that provide great online storage service that does not limit you to Google Apps.
I don’t think you will ever see a “G-Drive” that you add to your desktop from Google because their aim is for you to put everything online including your Apps and OS.
Most of us are not ready to work the Google way just yet, so one of these other services allow us to expand our storage to the cloud and still use our computer the way we want to.
Would strongly want to agree with your point.
As the tech world changes, more and more people are switching to cloud computing, even enterprise is making a switch.
