Upload Any File to the Cloud

[flwyd]

Google just announced that you can upload any file and store it in Google Docs. For anyone who's asked "What do you do at Google?" this project is the answer.

Among other things, this service will let me

• back up all the papers I wrote and projects I did in school (in case I drop my hard drive again)
• upload a file at home if I need to print it at work or at Kinkos
• share a folder of images with my brother and mom while we work on a website design
• make a Creative Commons GIMP file, share it with the world, and upload some improvements people make
• stick a DMG with a hard-to-find old program so I can install it whenever I get a new computer
• upload a bunch of photos from a private event and share them with the folks who attended

… all without wasting people's email quota by attaching large files. (Note: This feature will be available to your user some time between an hour and a half ago and next week or so.)

When you put it like that, "I work on the documents list for Google Docs" sounds pretty exciting. I'm part of this new "It's all in the cloud" world!
