In an official blog post Google described their new solution. “As someone who tests Google products daily, I know that the simplest solution is often the one that works best. 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,” says Google.<\/p>\n
“That's why the Picasa team is pleased to tell you that in a few hours we'll be rolling out extra storage that you can purchase to use across several Google products (today, Picasa Web Albums and Gmail; soon, other applications like Google Docs & Spreadsheets). That will help make storage really useful, like letting you upload lots of full resolution images to Picasa Web Albums.”<\/p>\n
When you reach the limit of free storage – 1GB for Picasa Web Albums, 2.8GB for Gmail – Google says that you should consider this’ your overflow solution’. Plans start at $20\/year for 6GB, with larger plans ranging up to 250GB.<\/p>\n
