Google opens Docs to all files

GDrive is still speculative, but Google is surely giving you a `hard drive’ in the cloud. Firing another salvo in its war to control the cloud, Google has announced that it is rolling out the ability to upload all file types to the cloud through Google Docs.

Very soon, Google Docs users will be able to store their important files online, where they can access them easily and share them with others.

According to a post on The Official Google Blog, "Over the next few weeks, we’re rolling out the ability to upload all file types to the cloud through Google Docs, giving you one place where you can upload and access your key files online."

Google Docs now supports files up to 250 MB in size, which is larger than the attachment limit on most email applications, claims the company. Users will be able to backup large graphics files, RAW photos, ZIP archives and much more to the cloud.

More importantly, instead of carrying a USB drive, users can now use Google Docs as a more convenient option for accessing their files on different computers.

In addition to uploading any file into Google Docs, Google Apps Premier Edition customers can also seamlessly upload many files at once and sync them with their desktop in real time using third-party applications.

According to the Google blog, the feature will be enabled in users' accounts over the next couple of weeks. So, keep looking for the bubble notification when you sign in to Google Docs.
