Google Drive rumors have been piling up lately, with the service reportedly on the verge of launching in the first or second week of April. Now the site TalkAndroid says it has unearthed screenshots from a Google source that show up to 5GB of free storage for each user.
Earlier this week, the site showed a screenshot indicating that everyone who signs up for Google Drive will get 2GB of free space. Yesterday, the site followed up with another shot indicating that the number will actually be 5GB for everyone.
Why the screenshots would show different starting sizes is unclear. Assuming the images are real, they could have been taken from different stages of development, or may not be representative of the final version that Google will offer.
Google Drive has been rumored for years. The Wall Street Journal said in February that it would finally be released in as little as a few weeks. GigaOm reported this week that the release date is expected to be in the first week of April. There are already numerous online storage services offering free space. Dropbox, the most popular one, offers 2GB free to everyone, while Box offers 5GB for free.
