I wonder if these two things are connected:

“Corsin Camichel has stumbled across a page hosted on Google’s server (the page has now been removed) that gives life to a service that has been in the rumor mill since my very first blog post last September. The screenshot provided appears to suggest GDrive works with Windows, Mac and Linux allowing users to store files remotely so they can be accessed from anywhere”.

And from Matt Cutts:

“One thing I did finish, and which surprised me, is I finally pulled data off all the hard drives that have been collecting dust”

Ok, that link is fairly tenuous

We shall wait and see….
