"Last year, Google began allowing users to upload docs of any file format up to 250 MB in size to Google Docs, turning the service from simply an online word processor into a cloud storage service," goes the NYTimes. "Today, the company has unveiled a number of user interface changes for Google Docs that continues the move toward becoming the mythical 'Gdrive' - a cloud-based file storage service."
In other words, an individual with a Google account can store text files on Google Docs, which some people have called Gdrive. The significance? I have stored files on my Gdrive. I can go anywhere in the world--without my computer--and access the files. I can also share them with other individuals, a free service that becomes increasingly valuable with the spread of e-reader apps for smart phones and tablets.
