Google GDrive , Is Google planning to offer remote backups thru Google Gdrive?

Google Gdrive :A (supposedly) Google gaffe has given rise to theories about Google offering Google Gdrive, a remote backup virtual internet drive for all users.

While some people already use Gmail as a kind of Gdrive , at least for their Outlook and large files, a formally christened Google Gdrive will rise to usual conspiracy theories about Google controlling all the world's mission critical data and messages. Google could then mine the data and drive more personalized ads to the individual users.

My 2 cents on Google Gdrive :- Wait till the fat lady sings.
