It seems that Google buys storage devices at very very cheap rate thatswhy they keep coming up with weirdest tools and systems which are only possible if you have lots of storage.Gmail,Google search,Google Bookmark,all of these services heavily rely on backend storage devices whick keep trillians amout of data at Googleplex based servers.

I am a big fan of google products and use 60% of their products. Yesterday Google released Google Browser Sync. A firefox extension which stores your bookmarks,session,cookies save passwords on remote google servers which you can later acces on other PC where you have facility of FireFox and offcourse the extension.Sounds good but kinda security risk like I would prefer to keep passwords in my own memory rather in memory of some remote server. Such tools are very handy no doubt about that but will someone like me prefer to keep his online shopping passwords store in remote machines?I dont think so.

Since google always exhibit infinite amount of web space via different tools and systems,will it not be good if google give chance to other people,specially software engineers to use their space for their tools rather rely on google tools or extend it via APIs? There are few things which I want to do and which are depandant on remote storage but I just stop myself because its kinda costly to me.I have my own space as well but its like Zero infront of Google servers.Since google is generous enough to keep our things freely in their machines,if they give us access to use their storage for our own written systems then world could see lots of goodies for daily use which could benefit humanity as well.
