The battle of free online storage gets another contestant

It was a matter of when, not if, when Google was going to jump into the fray of online storage.  The only problem with free online storage is that no single site offers enough free storage to back up everything you need.  If you take all of the services together you could do it.  You can get roughly 25GB if you get an account with all of the services.  Google Drive, Box.com and SugarSync all offer 5 GB.  Dropbox offers 2GB and Skydrive caps out at 7GB.  They all work in a similar way.  A folder is created on your desktop, you drop files into it, it gets uploaded and saved in the "cloud".  PCWorld has a short article comparing and contrasting all of the services.  Check it out here.
