The dawn of the hard drive: Google’s Gdrive arriving in 2009

Google’s most anticipated product Google Drive, or Gdrive will ultimately become the most powerful internet tool (some say).

Gdrive is an online storage where Google servers have the capacity to hold the entire contents of your hard drive. Not only that but it will it will do cool tricks - like booting your computer from online drive to load the Google operating system. Basically it’s desktop client that keeps local and online files and folders in two-directional sync via a web interface for accessing your desktop files anywhere and anytime, using any network-enabled computer.

The possibilities are quite nice:” you could start working on a spreadsheet at home and continue via Gdrive web interface accessed in an Internet cafe. When you arrive back home, changes to the spreadsheet have already trickled down from the cloud to your desktop.”

So, don’t be too surprised if the computer you’ll be using in just a  few years comes with no hard drive at all, but boots the Google operating system entirely off Gdrive and the Internet.
