Google Docs hints at GDrive... maybe
There've been rumors that Google was working on an online storage service for years. After all, Google already offers Gmail users over 7GB of storage space. Throw in a Picasa account, Google Docs, and a few other services and you're looking at nearly 10GB of free web storage space.

Let's hope that they follow in the steps of Dropbox and also offer proper linux integration. Better yet, they could allow normal SFTP access...

I didn't see this earlier but now you can add more space to your Gmail account for a fee.
10 GB ($20.00 USD per year)
40 GB ($75.00 USD per year)
150 GB ($250.00 USD per year)
400 GB ($500.00 USD per year)

The interesting thing is the note about buying a storage plan will consolidate the other accounts into one drive.
"After purchasing a storage plan, some of your individual Google services (e.g. email and photos) will share a single new storage space. Learn more"
