Google Reacts to Office 365 Momentum With Unlimited Cloud Storage
Under pressure from Microsoft’s Office 365, Google has launched a premium edition of Apps with unlimited cloud storage and extra IT controls, and has also improved the Docs office productivity suite.
Although this new edition is essentially Apps for Business with an extra set of features, Google has branded it differently, shifting the spotlight from “apps” to storage by calling it Drive for Work.
It’s an acknowledgement by Google of the red hot popularity of cloud storage and file sharing services for personal and work documents, like its own Drive, which has about 190 million active home and business users, Microsoft’s OneDrive and OneDrive for Business, and similar services from Box, Dropbox and others.
