Google Storage : Platypus ?
Google is most likely to release a new application called platypus, which is what we know as GDrive. A blogger discovered the service online when adding 'index.html' to Google's Writely.com. A screenshot of a very familiar login page is attached to his blog.
Features :

* Backup. If you lose your computer, grab a new one and reinstall Platypus. Your files will be on your new machine in minutes.

* Sync. Keep all your machines synchronized, even if they run different operating systems.

* VPN-less access. Not at a Google computer? View your files on the web at http://troutboard.com/p.

* Collaborate. Create shared spaces to which multiple Googlers can write.

* Disconnected access. On the plane? VPN broken? All your files are still accessible.

* Publish. All of the files you store on Platypus are automatically accessible from the (corporate) web.

* Share. Other Googlers can mount your Platypus folders and open your files in read-only mode.

* Local IO speeds. Open and save as quickly as you could if you were accessing them from your C: drive.

This sounds like another killer app for Google.
