Google Apps users will soon be able to upload any file up to 250MB. The service will provide up to 1GB of free storage, with any additional files costing $0.25 per GB per year. Google will start rolling out the service in the coming weeks.
"Now accessing your work files doesn't require a connection to your internal office network," Anil Sabharwal with the Google Docs team, wrote in a blog post. "Nor do you need to e-mail files to yourself, carry around a thumbdrive, or use a company network drive – you can access your files using Google Docs from any web-enabled computer."
Combined with the shared folders option on Google Docs, users can upload files and give permission for friends or co-workers to edit those documents.
"For example, if you are in a club or PTA working on large graphic files for posters or a newsletter, you can upload them to a shared folder for collaborators to view, download, and print," Vijay Bangaru, product manager for Google Docs, wrote in a separate blog post.
Uploaded documents can be searched, and many common document files types can be viewed via Google Docs viewer.
Those with Google Apps Premier Edition can use the Google Documents List Data API to upload files in batch or purchase third-party apps that allow for migration and synching to Google Docs.
