Google Drive is go. Invitation only at the moment it seems.

Looks very similar to DropBox and (now) SkyDrive but integrated with Google's other services like Docs.

However, hmmm..... Don't put anything up there that would even vaguely qualify as being your intellectual property.

Ah, you've seen that already.

Good good.

a worldwide license to use, host, store, reproduce, modify, create derivative works (such as those resulting from translations, adaptations or other changes we make so that your content works better with our Services), communicate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute such content

I wouldn't mind if that was all they were asking for but...



To me that translates as, "we can put your content anywhere we like to on the internet with or without changes to the content."

We may need your permission to do things you ask us to do with your stuff, for example, hosting your files, or sharing them at your direction. This includes product features visible to you, for example, image thumbnails or document previews. It also includes design choices we make to technically administer our Services, for example, how we redundantly backup data to keep it safe. You give us the permissions we need to do those things solely to provide the Services. This permission also extends to trusted third parties we work with to provide the Services, for example Amazon, which provides our storage space (again, only to provide the Services).

Here's the thing.

In DropBox's case, the customer is you. In Google's case, it isn't.
