Google rolls out Additional Online Storage Space, but for a Price
Are you one of those who upload tons and tons of photos and videos online, but uses very little email storage space? Well, then this news will please you. Google is now offering its users the ability to buy additional space.
Even though Gmail and Picasa users get 1GB and 2GB of free storage, people do tend to need more space.
Google is offering additional storage space starting a price of $20 per year for 2.8GB more space. And, for 250GB space annually, Google will charge $500.
Besides offering space for Gmail and Picasa, Google is also offering additional storage space for its Google Docs and Google Spreadsheets.
Ryan Aquino, software QA Engineer Lead, Picasa Web Albums, wrote on Google’s official blog that this recent movie is aimed mainly at quenching users’ increasing thirth for online storage.
He said: “In the case of online storage, whether it’s a picture, a video or an email, you should just, well, be able to store it without having to worry about whether you’ve got enough space in each particular product.”
But, those who really require more space, will indeed welcome this move.

The facts are a little incorrect here. Google doesn’t give you a TOTAL of 6 gigs of storage for $20 per year… it’s an ADDITIONAL 6 gigs. So, you will continue to have your FREE storage as well. For instance, if you have 2 gigs worth of Gmail and 1 gig worth of photos in Picasa… by purchasing the extra 6 gigs, you will still have the entire 6 paid gigs available.

Yes, the info is not correct. It’s an additional 6GB.
