Google is known for having its fingers in multiple pies and now it's going to add yet another one to its platter. According to the Wall 
Street Journal, the internet search giant is planning to challenge Dropbox and iCloud with its own cloud based storage drive. The storage service is likely to be given an original moniker 'Drive'.
It is not the first time we are getting to hear about Google Drive or G-Drive. However, now that the cloud computing is gaining ground, it seems like that Google may finally decide to make this rumor a reality. Also, in the mean time, Google has accumulated a wide array of products such as Android based handsets and tablets, which can make best use of such cloud based drive.
The report suggests that Google may adopt freemium model. It is also likely to pose bigger challenge to its competitors with higher free storage capacity. The drive is also expected to carry ads. The report states, "Like Dropbox, Google’s storage service, called Drive, is a response to the growth of Internet-connected mobile devices like smartphones and tablets and the rise of cloud computing, or storing files online so that they can be retrieved from multiple devices."
