Google Platypus Mass Storage

Google PlatypusThere was talk of a Google GDrive in the works a while ago. It was said to be some kind of mass storage area for user to store whatever they wanted, and be able to access it from anywhere.
Google's Super Secret Platypus Gdrive has the tagline of "A filer for the whole world. But better." Platypus enables you to store files on your C drive of on the filer. Google claims the following features :

  • If your computer crashes, or you get a new one, you can reinstall this Platypus software, and you files will be automatically downloaded and synched onto your new machine.
  • You can Sync files across many different computers, and operating systems.
  • You can view your files across the web.
  • You can share certain files to multiple people.
  • If you are not able to get an internet connection, all of your files are still available.
It is also said that this new Platypus application will be available in Windows, Mac and Linux formats. Word is that Justin Rosenstein, the Product Manager for the Google Page Creator is working on this project as well.
