LG Cloud beta in the U.S. and Korea: 50 GB free, but only for the first 6 months

Tell me and I'll tell that cloud you who you are : now lacks only the gardener in the house to have its say in the increasingly tangled world of services, Cloud Storage , where the last company LG, which will be tomorrow as many as 50 GB free for all its customers and Korean Americans.

 

The service reminds that the recently launched by Sony , especially since it will be voted to ' connect all devices to LG brand , rather than whether Android smartphone smart TV, so that the videos uploaded on the cloud will be trans-coded on the fly to optimize the bandwidth usage and also allow streaming of 3D content.

There are already applications for Android and Windows , although it still lacks a dedicated web portal, but not long in coming. The "scam" if anything, lies in the space provided: for the first 6 months, LG users will receive 50 GB simply by installing the free app for Android, but this is made ​​possible by well-known collaboration with LG Box ,  after this period, however, the space will drop dramatically to 5 GB , and fall to 2 GB for users of devices that are not LG.

What will happen any excess data is not clear but, although the policy of " try it for free for a while 'and then pay "can adapt well to satellite TV, for example, there seems to be a very good formula for a storage service. In any case the service is (currently) reserved for the U.S. and Korea, so basically we have little to complain about. Or perhaps why should we?

Google Drive coming next week

Thundered that it rained so much , goes the old adage, and in fact can not be said that Google uploads Drive bombastic without being preceded by warnings: we talked about it for the first time a couple of months ago  and over time emerged via details including the available space (5 GB) and also the supposed launch date , which is now officially confirmed for next week.

 

In all probability the middle of next week  we will be able to connect https://drive.google.com/  to exploit the new service Bigg, which will be available for Windows, Mac, Android and iPhone OS . It seems that being multi-platform is a feature well carved in his genes, although we have no precise details about its implementation on different systems.

Also confirmed the 5 GB free , of course upgradeable for a fee, but the exact prices you have to wait for the opening of the site.

It also seems that colleagues from  TechCrunch  are even able to get their hands the app itself , but at the time reveals very little being " Google Drive is not yet enabled for your account . "

In any case it seems that the time for speculation is coming to an end and soon we will know how many and which Google has given us reasons to abandon the faithful Dropbox, or whomever. And you are ready to change your cloud storage service, or old habits die hard?  Source: Visit
