For Backups: I'll keep Backblaze, thanks. It's just $50/year for unlimited storage and I can login to my account from anywhere in the world to download my files.
And how is Google Drive's document collaboration feature different from Google Docs?
-
Hm. It says "my Google drive is not ready yet". So yet another Google product that they are introducing separately in different countries?

Dropbox only offer 2GB.

Then you have Microsoft's Skydrive: https://skydrive.live.com/
Also an alternative.What will be interesting is the integration with the file system.
Does Google Drive automatically sync folders on your computer, like Dropbox?
-
Yes, and much faster
-
Can I just ask people to click the drive link on the google homepage when logged in(at the top of page in the big black bar). I have entered through that since yesterday no problem. Even though the other way says notify me.
-
You should get a link to the installer after that blah blah blah

What big black bar? Screenshot? I can't find the damn thing.
-
At the top of page is a black nav bar with links to docs, plus etc.
I've drive up there since yesterday. I just clicked it and downloaded installer. Now I've drive folder on system.
-
Nope! For me it redirects to http://www.google.no - and there is no Drive link...
-
-
-
While I wait ... does it sync one folder, like Dropbox and SkyDrive - or does it allow arbitrary folder sync?
-
Testing link from drive
Deleted link
-
Does this answer your question?
-
I do not even have that in the black Google bar.

Normally we're always last to the parade but it seems we rolled out on launch?
I got zero notification I just noticed Drive in the bar and clicked it. I presumed everyone was getting it.
