TOPIC: Google Lets You Upload Any File to Google Docs

Google Lets You Upload Any File to Google Docs
1:20 PM - January 13, 2010 by Jane McEntegart

Google has announced that Google Docs users can now upload any kind of file they like to the cloud. Vijay Bangaru, Product Manager for Google Docs yesterday announced that Google Docs now supports files up to 250 MB in size (larger than the attachment limit on most email applications), which means Google Docs users can now store backups of large graphic files, RAW photos and ZIP archives on the cloud.

The news comes at a time when Google is trying to instill in users a confidence regarding cloud storage. A lot of people are wary of trusting the cloud as their sole storage solution. It's this kind of thinking that Google will need to overcome if its Chrome OS,which stores everything in the cloud, is to be successful.

Upload your files and access them anywhere with Google Docs

Over the next few weeks, we’re rolling out the ability to upload all file types to the cloud through Google Docs, giving you one place where you can upload and access your key files online. Because Google Docs now supports files up to 250 MB in size, which is larger than the attachment limit on most email applications, you’ll be able to backup large graphics files, RAW photos, ZIP archives and much more to the cloud. More importantly, instead of carrying a USB drive, you can now use Google Docs as a more convenient option for accessing your files on different computers.

This feature can also help you work with teams to organize and collaborate on information online. For example, an architect can share large schematic files with her construction firm, while a P.T.A. member can share large graphic files for posters with other members. You can even add these files to the same shared project folder your team has already been using to collaborate on documents and spreadsheets.

In addition to uploading any file into Google Docs, our Google Apps Premier Edition customers will be able to seamlessly upload many files at once and sync them with their desktop in real time using third party applications. You can read more about how the ability to upload any file will help businesses on the Google Enterprise blog.

This feature will be enabled for your account over the next couple of weeks — look for the bubble notification when you sign in to Google Docs. For more information, check out our post on the Google Docs blog.

Actually Google Docs is what they call "Cloud Computing".


A little bit off topic.

Ubuntu is providing a free service.

Also www.live.com (Microsoft) is also offering Cloud Computing for free.

will this kill rapidshare, megashare, hotfile and the like?

google docs is only an online office suit. it would only accept office files not executable files like programs siguro ginawa nilang addition yung mga photo files (mayroon na sila ito picasa siguro incorporate lang nila yung features nito) pero i don't think they would accept video files kaya kailangan mo pa rin yung mga file sharing sites
