Google is preparing to offer online storage to Web users. The storage would create a mirror image of data stored on consumer hard drives.
Company documents that were mistakenly released on the internet substantiate the previously rumored GDrive an online storage service . The news surfaced after a blogger discovered apparent notes in a slide presentation by Google executives.
The notes were published on Google's site after its analysts presentation day last week.
"With infinite storage, we can house all user files, including emails, web history, pictures, bookmarks, etc and make it accessible from anywhere," the notes said.
CEO
Eric Schmidt said one goal of Google was to "store 100%" of consumer information.
Google subsequently took down its original PowerPoint slide presentation and replaced it with a 94-page Adobe Acrobat file, devoid of the speaker notes.
