SlashGear 101: What is Google Drive?
What is this mysterious new service that Google has suddenly started offering to the public here on this lovely spring afternoon? It’s Google Drive, and it’s essentially just a bunch of space that Google is allowing you to use on their servers.

Windows 8 Release set with Google Drive
