>>This doesn't seem to have any new details on the service other than that its 5GB and launching on Mac/Windows/iOS/Android, which is all in line with expectations.
The author mentions they have a draft of the release from a launch partner. That feels a lot more substantial than just rumors, to me.
>> Given all the recent leaks, it really doesn't seem like Google's doing much more than cloning Dropbox.
In the sense that they are creating a cloud storage option?I suppose. I would almost guaranty it will have extreme android integration, which would give it an obvious advantage over any other cloud storage app on android.
>>Was I the only one expecting Google to knock this one out of the park, a la Gmail's introduction?
We haven't seen the announcement, so saying that feels a bit early, but realistically, I am not sure what they could do that would be terribly interesting. GMail was amazing becuaae every other web mail platform sucked. Dropbox is awesome though, so they will lack the contrast to make them look better this time around.
