SugarSync, until today's Google Drive announcement, offered the largest available online storage locker for users, 500GB. SugarSync offers a lot of flexibility, but it can also be a lot to manage. SugarSync has highly evolved iOS apps, as well. You don't have to sync just the system's own folder - you can sync anything. For individual users, it has a feature set that puts Dropbox to shame, and it allows very fine-grained control of what is synced, and to where. SugarSync is the old-fashioned, super-feature-rich, ultra-flexible store and sync service.

Google Drive is relatively easy to get started with on a PC, Mac, and Android device. It's integrated into Google Docs so you can put your files from local apps alongside your Web files, which is pretty handy. To review: Google Drive offers 5GB of free storage, almost the best prices beyond the free tier in a consumer product (Microsoft is better), and the biggest available online lockers. Google Docs files are opened in a browser. Google Drive files show on a computer's regular file system, where people can copy, move, delete, or modify them. Can Google compete? Is it right for you? Let's compare it to the existing grid of storage providers. In the consumer cloud storage market, there are serious, well-established, and highly valued companies already up and running. See social networking, or photo sharing, or blogging. Or will it? Google has not conquered every market it's entered. It will easily steamroll the pesky small-fry, like Dropbox.

It's late to market, but it doesn't matter. Google is finally launching its general-purpose cloud storage service.
