Another interesting Google move trying to retain users getting into everything.
Quote:
Cloud computing just got a lot more accessible. Google Drive announced Thursday it was lowering the price of its cloud storage service, incentivizing those who were happy to use only the free 15GB of storage to pay for more.
Google will now charge $1.99 per month for 100GB of storage down from $4.99, and $9.99 per month for 1TB versus $49.99.
The storage Google (GOOG) provides is actually shared between Gmail, Drive and Google+. Those who are already paying will be automatically placed into the new payment plan.
This means that Google provides more storage than any of its competitors, and at a cheaper rate too. This might pose a problem for the valuations of popular cloud storage companies Dropbox and Box, both of which were planning on going public later this year.
