Google Drive goes Live

[Mr Happy]

nice update just after msn , hehe

btw its not release to use in Pakistan yet.

Ya these things can take a while to roll out. They are updating all Gmail accounts from 7.5GB to 10GB today as well and they said it would take 24 hours for all accounts to update.

they are still hosting files though, so they are a filehost to some extent.

Forget this garbage. Access requires a proprietary client. Where are open, standard protocols which don't require unvetted Google software to be trusted with power over our computers?

Hmmmmm. Your Google Drive is not ready yet.

K. I finally got GDrive installed.

Review: The app is pretty lame. Doesn't show transfer rate and how long it will take to complete uploading. I only threw on 4 ebooks (.pdf) and couldn't be viewed through browser. Thats one feature I like about dropbox, I can view .pdf's page by page without actually downloading the whole book. Overall though its pretty simple. Just install and throw all the stuff you want into the Google Drive folder.

Also found a few bugs. If you create a folder through the browser or move files to a folder. There is no folder created and files dont move in GDrive app.

But, its just a start. Should expect more to come soon.

Edit: ok well uploading took a long ass time. But could be cuz its just came out and everyone should be using it like mad for testing. and after everything was uploaded it then started syncing folders and files.

For some reason I can't use it yet, despite it being live.

No wonder they have been so 'involved' in the Megaupload case
