Every company you name it, is now talking about "Cloud" "Storage"
Microsoft has it already --- SkyDrive.
Apple has it already --- iCloud. [ works similar to Dropbox with the hidden "mobile documents" folder ]
Now Google jumps into this.... lol
God knows, what will happen to the PRIVACY of the files being shared through this services.
I even heard Facebook will also offer Cloud based storage solutions [ for pics and vids ]

I got the mail yesterday night itself. Now using GDrive as primary cloud storage. its backup in Dropbox and Dropbox backup in SkyDrive
Its fast and simple to use like Dropbox.
heard about Gmail Drive ? i guess that was even before SkyDrive.

OP
It was not a full fledged service. It was mainly using Gmail's storage to store your files as attachments. I hear that Google was not exactly glad about it.
Care to elaborate please?

Guys read the terms of service. It states Google will own all the files you upload. For me, I will not be bothering to use this service

GDrive has indepth search. (eg. keywords will be searched for data in doc files + OCR Image search+ real time collaboration of docs with other users) .if they dont have rights, how else you expect this feature to be there in system ?
also whats the guarantee that MS wont use our data no matter what policy they have ?

People make way too much of a deal with terms of conditions. It's all about control, wherever you use cloud, you lose your control. Care that much for privacy? Build your own server/VPS and share files via Sparkleshare (still a WIP).
GDrive doesn't seem anything special though. Dropbox users need not move.

Google docs was limited as to what formats can be stored. Now with drive, we can upload any file & have 5 GB of space available. The interface is same as docs though.

really?
Don't confuse GDrive with Google Drive. GDrive was a third party application, which used Google as a storage platform. But since it was not directly from Google, I never trusted it.
Now that Google have themselves launched the cloud, I think it would be good now to save large but non personal files.
I trust Dropbox more than Google. And have already put my Documents folder inside Dropbox instead of vice versa (which is by default). Now my complete documents folder (which comes to around 4 GB) will be backed up on cloud. And I can access it even from my Android.
No. But it will be rolled out for everyone soon. Still not got my Drive.
