But as the company pushes its web-based productivity services Docs & Spreadsheets into the small business markets,
Google announced it would charge US$20 (A$23.60) for 6GB of additional storage, US$75 for 25GB, US$250 for 100GB and US$500 for 250GB.
The company said the additional storage could be used across different Google products, from its Gmail email service to its Picasa photo sharing service.
Picasa Web Albums software quality assurance engineer Ryan Aquino said on the official Google blog the additional storage service would soon be extended Docs & Spreadsheets.
“The Picasa team is pleased to tell you that in a few hours we'll be rolling out extra storage that you can purchase to use across several Google products (today, Picasa Web Albums and Gmail; soon, other applications like Google Docs & Spreadsheets),” Mr Aquino wrote on the Google blog.
“That will help make storage really useful, like letting you upload lots of full resolution images to Picasa Web Albums. When you reach the limit of free storage (i.e., 1GB for Picasa Web Albums, 2.8GB for Gmail), consider this your overflow solution,” Mr Aquino wrote.
