Given all the recent leaks, it really doesn't seem like Google's doing much more than cloning Dropbox.
Was I the only one expecting Google to knock this one out of the park, a la Gmail's introduction?

File locker service that's tightly integrated with what is (subjectively, to me) the best online collaboration suite available? And is priced to beat all competitors? Yes please.
The author mentions they have a draft of the release from a launch partner. That feels a lot more substantial than just rumors, to me.

In the sense that they are creating a cloud storage option?I suppose. I would almost guaranty it will have extreme android integration, which would give it an obvious advantage over any other cloud storage app on android.

We haven't seen the announcement, so saying that feels a bit early, but realistically, I am not sure what they could do that would be terribly interesting. GMail was amazing becuaae every other web mail platform sucked. Dropbox is awesome though, so they will lack the contrast to make them look better this time around.
The Android Dropbox client doesn't even let you download folders at once, only individual files.
I don't have a use case for mobile file syncing for myself.
