While Dropbox gives users up to 2 GB of space on its cloud for free before it starts charging, Google Drive will reportedly offer only 1 GB of free storage but may charge considerably less for extra storage space (see below). The big question: Will Drive actually launch? Rumors of such a service first surfaced in 2006, yet nothing has materialized. Google Drive "is like the wolf in the fable, The Boy Who Cried Wolf," says Om Malik at Giga Om. Still, according to recent posts by multiple sources, an April launch "might" actually happen. | While Dropbox gives users up to 2 GB of space on its cloud for free before it starts charging, Google Drive will reportedly offer only 1 GB of free storage but may charge considerably less for extra storage space (see below).
