A new URL on the drive.google.com subdomain is another sign that Google’s rumored GDrive cloud storage is coming soon. Available at beta.drive.google.com, it redirects to the Google Accounts login website. Upon providing my credentials, the page was stuck in an endless redirect loop. Something clearly is cooking in Google’s kitchen, though the product is not ready for prime time. Google Drive, or GDrive, leaked many times in past months, revealing its logo and interface. Judging by Google Docs code hooks, GDrive is likely to become at least an integral part of Google’s cloud-based productivity suite if not a full-blown cloud storage service shared across all Google services.
While it is already possible to buy more storage from Google, it is shared only across Gmail, Google Docs, and Picasa Web Albums. The Wall Street Journal reported earlier this month that Google would launch Google Drive “in the coming weeks or months.” The idea of a unified Google storage for consumers’ dates back to 2007, and later leaks suggested the product is anything but vaporware. With Microsoft’s SkyDrive cloud storage service now being revamped, GDrive is likely around the corner.

Haha, fun redirects loop :Geek: xD
Just tried this and it goes into an infinite loop trying to load the page.
looks like they stopped the redirect with a 404 not found error
I've been waiting for Google Drive for quite some time now. Meanwhile found some interesting tools for cloud storage. Tools such as CollateBox http://www.collatebox.com/ are very promising, went through their recent video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KruqWWiw1s It's simply amazing. Must have a look at this one!!!!
@John: went through the website and the video. looks like this product will hit the market soon. Just registered but my concern is with the launch of the product and the functionality of it. Will it really function the way it has been described??
