Online hints surface about mysterious new projects, including a new "Gdrive," which follow Gmail's trail toward ever-increasing storage. (eWEEK.com)Google is building a new feature that provides consumers and enterprises with an unlimited amount of online storage for their data, according to various sources.
The project's details were part of a slide presentation that appeared briefly online during Google's analyst day meeting March 3. But the slides disappeared soon after buzz began in the blogosphere.
A Google representative confirmed March 6 that the Mountain View, Calif., firm did remove some of the presentation slides because they "were not intended for publication." But the spokesperson would not disclose anything further.

According to a blog posting of notes from these slides, Google is at work on a total of three projects, named Gdrive, GDS and Lighthouse. Each project is based on the goal of bringing about "infinite storage" and "infinite bandwidth," according to versions of the pulled presentation slides now posted online.
Google's Gmail e-mail service could be considered the precursor to these projects. Gmail account holders have up to 1M of free space, which for many is an amount they'll never use.
Gdrive has been described as a kind of unlimited storage account, according to various Google watchers who claim knowledge of the project.
