Has anyone looked at Google Drive that is going to be rolling out soon?  Thoughts on using that for small biz collaboration?

  It is still limited.. Not enough space in my opinon.. I heard about http://www.cloudzow.com and they give you unlimited space, but it is just for back ups, but it is on very secure 256 Bit encryption- 24/7 support and very affordable at $5.00/ month

I just don’t trust Google with all my information, who knows they could be selling it off to advertisers?

@trudyd1474 Thanks, that is why I didn’t trust Google.. I knew they were doing this, just did not have any proof.

“If something is free, you are the product.”

Ha! I was just discussing that with the powers that be not 20 minutes ago!

@trudyd1474 - Thank you! Could you send the link to the internet lawyer, looks like a good idea to be on his list.

Wish I could take credit for it, but in this day of social media, personalization and privacy, it’s more relevant than ever.

@rich-brooks, but what you said is usually true. And you can still get credits for the LIKE option

In this day and age you almost can never fully protect your intellectual property and yet be part of the social networking scene. If you think about it, just entering a site such as Twitter, Facebook, or this one, you are opening yourself up. You may not give it away on any particular site, but collectively you may have. This is the price we pay. 

I find it useful to sync my google docs to my desktop. I find google docs useful for sharing documents for group editing and updates.I already use Trend Micro Safesync for cloud storage and sharing, but the group editing /sync is nice for Google Docs/Drive.

yes, we need to add a like button! @rich-brookswow, Trudy, interesting information, thanks @trudyd1474

Hello everybody!

I haven’t been here for a while, so I hope that my first contribute after a long pause will be useful.

Basically, I’d like to point out that, according to several sources, Google Drive’s TOS are largely misunderstood. Here is one:http://www.phonearena.com/news/Stop-the-Google-Drive-Terms-of-Service-Bogeyman-hunt_id29524

Here instead is a brief comparison between Google and Dropbox TOS…http://curiousrat.com/home/2012/4/24/google-drive-terms-vs-dropbox-terms.html

Read both in the order I posted them (if you have enough free time you may read and analyze the complete TOS of both services).Then, consider that the rights that Dropbox “may” need (yeah… it “may” need lol) are veeeery similar to those of GDrive.

Then again, consider that Google has NOT interest in stealing your work or losing your trust…

Let me finish with this consideration: Google Drive is not a free service, no more than Dropbox or Skydrive at least. They give you some free space, and sell you more if (when) you get so addicted to the service, that you want more.

So the quote “if it’s free, you are the product” is great but not 100% correct here.

I had even more and better sources to share, when (if) I’ll find them again, I’ll share them.
