Gmail Threatens Dropbox By Allowing Users To Send Files Up To 10GB

Gmail Threatens Dropbox By Allowing Users To Send Files Up To 10GB | cross pond high tech | Scoop.it
Remember when you couldn't send video or audio files because of attachment size limits? That's history.

If you're a Gmail user, there's good news: You can now send files as large as 10 gigabytes.

If you're a Dropbox investor or employee, though, that's bad news.
The Web-based email service now integrates with Google's Drive storage system, according to ReadWrite's Jon Mitchell.

Users don't have to do anything to take advantage of this new feature. When you attach a file, Gmail will double-check that your recipients have permission to view the files in Google Drive.

Cloud open doors for telecoms

"In addition to connections, for carriers, jumping into cloud computing offerings can be a way to make additional revenue with services. “Many have stepped up to provide end-to-end cloud solutions,” DeCarlo pointed out. “Telecom companies have more than just the network; most also have significant data center infrastructures and deep expertise in virtualization. They can leverage this to create complete end-to-end cloud solutions, particularly in areas like IaaS.”

 

Indeed, there are opportunities available for carriers that decide to include cloud in their portfolio. DeCarlo highlighted that cloud services could give carriers more than just a source of replacement revenue for services whose margins are declining rapidly. “On-demand service can introduce a whole new set of prospects to the carrier’s services and open up new market growth sectors to the provider,” she said."

and this time, we're not talking backdoors (see Barracuda's SSHGate)
