GDrive Ready For Release?
 By Doug Caverly
Expectations met so far; release may be near
While there's still no telling when - or even if - GDrive will be released, there's fresh evidence that the product exists in some form of development. It looks like Google may be close to presenting GDrive to the public, too, as the evidence amounts to an official product description.
Brian Ussery went digging into a file in the Google Pack bundle of software and found a mention of GDrive under the heading "Online file backup and storage." The block of text then continues, "GDrive provides reliable storage for all of your files, including photos, music and documents," and "GDrive allows you to access your files from anywhere, anytime, and from any device - be it from your desktop, web browser or cellular phone."
This appears to confirm long-circulating rumors about both the purpose and abilities of GDrive. What's more, there wouldn't be much point in having all of the flowery language stuff finalized if GDrive is only limping along in some basement lab.
So is GDrive ready for release? Well, who knows. But since another section of the same file describes GDrive as part of Google Pack and thanks the reader for downloading and installing it, it again looks like we're getting close. Anyone on the cusp of buying a new hard drive or other storage device might want to just hold off for another few weeks.
Hat tip goes to Alex Chitu.
