How long have we been constrained by our hard disk space.Now watch put for google "The internet leader" which is planning to release G Drive, which enables the users to store data online and that too unlimited space is provided. This is seen as a major technology shift from the usual hard drive we have in the system. These days internet is becoming all the more powerful. Many are fearing that the Google's GDrive will lead to giving Google unprecented power. You could store your data on this drive and access it from anywhere in the world with a internet connection. The pros of this drive is that you need not worry about the crashed that happen in yous system because you have a copy else where ie., the Google drive.
The cons of this drive is some one who manages to hack into the google servers then you are bound to stand exposed. The google have been tight lipped about the GDrive but it may make its way into the markets soon...here you go yet another marvel by google. I just simply admire google and wonder if any would come close to google in competition on net.

Hi Deelip,
I work for www.nomadesk.com, which offers easy and secure file sharing, wherever you are. I read your post on Google's GDrive with great interest and just wanted to add NomaDesk to the mix.
NomaDesk, trusted by mobile (“nomadic”) businesses for several years now both in Europe and the U.S., has similar features such as the ones you mention. We are convinced that the more data gets synchronized, the more likely it gets compromised. Therefore, NomaDesk includes an encrypted virtual drive that keeps your files securely available off-line and remote file shredding and IP-tracking with TheftGuard. Of course, we impose no limits on storage and bandwidth.A Mac version is on its way.
NomaDesk works with a local client and allows access to your files from anywhere on the web. We have very good reasons to work with a local client, next to the already "traditional" web interface (e.g., box.net, the late Xdrive, etc.):
(1) 100% availability of the data, regardless of network quality
(2) 100% performance when editing files, using any type of program
(3) 100% simplicity; just drag-n-drop files to synchronize and share them
(4) 100% security on the PC also: the virtual drives that NomaDesk creates on the PC are encrypted and can be shred remotely via our online TheftGuard service.
The bulk of our users, which are SOHO and SMB teams, appreciate the straightforward and secure file sharing they get through using the NomaDesk client software. You should know that in most cases NomaDesk replaces the traditional file server, FTP and VPN - with success!
Please let me know your thoughts.
Kind regards,
F.
