Today, Google Docs service announced a feature that allows user to upload any type of files to its servers for easy access from the cloud. Each file will have a limit of 250MB in size and each account can have up to 1GB of free storage space for for files you don’t convert into one of the Google Docs formats (i.e. Google documents, spreadsheets, and presentations). Google still limits users to 500KB for Microsoft Word documents, and 10MB for PowerPoint presentations and PDFs.
Additional space can be bought for $0.25 per GB per year. This makes it easy to backup more of your key files online.

Extract from e-mail I received today from Microsoft Windows Live spokesperson:
“Just a friendly reminder that Windows Live has been offering its more than 450 million customers 25GB of cloud-based storage space for free through Windows Live SkyDrive since 2008. For more than a year now, Windows Live customers have been able to upload many different types of files to the cloud – including large graphic files, MP3s, PDFs, videos, and more – allowing them to access to their files and information anywhere and everywhere they have access to the Web.”
