Google Offers 250 Gigs of Storage for $500

Google Announces Storage Prices For Online Apps
When Yahoo decided to offer unlimited free storage with Yahoo Mail, we all figured it was only a matter of time before Google offered the same... well, Google has put the kibosh on that idea. The search giant has unveiled its new pay-for-storage system that will increase your limits on Gmail, Picasa, and, soon, Google Docs & Spreadsheets. Don't worry, though, since prices look to be reasonable.

Currently Gmail gives you just shy of three-gigabytes (3GB) of storage, while Picasa offers just one-gigabyte (1GB). For $20 a year, you can bump that combined storage up to six-gigabytes (6GB). For people who need even more storage, the options include 25GB ($75), 100GB ($250), and 250GB ($500).

Google has not announced plans to allow storage outside of the aforementioned apps, but rumors surrounding a Gdrive refuse to die. It could integrate nicely with the previously mentioned gBox, if and when Google decides to snatch up the new company.
