Google’s own cloud storage option is on the way to be launched in a bid, in order to take on the S3 from Amazon. Google Storage, also called GS, would permit application developers to host content for users online as well as for themselves. Some sources add that a Google ID should be used for secure downloads and to allow developers to control storage remotely.

The service is supposed to have a private beta version available during the Google I/O conference. It could also be designed to help developers intending to switch from S3.

A similar service would target web applications and could be use as an advantage for Android and Chrome operating system applications, which are expected to use cloud storage heavily. Google Storage, as a result of the implementation, would not be seen as a universal pool but it would allow developers to use it as a common place of their content and also letting users to direct photos and other kind of data straight to Google Storage.
