It is unclear whether Google plans to display ads as part of the storage
service. If it chose to include ads based on the contents of users' files --
as it does with users' Gmail email messages -- that would likely raise red
flags for privacy groups and some consumers.
Many businesses have their own policies about storing data online. Consumers
can also enjoy a lesser level of legal protection for the privacy of their
data when it is on Internet-based file storage services as opposed to just
on their own computers, according to Kevin Bankston, staff attorney at the
Electronic Frontier Foundation.
Google says it is aware of privacy concerns. "It is certainly approached
with the utmost sensitivity on our end," said the Google spokeswoman. "We
have extensive safeguards in place currently to protect our user data and we
have a very strong track record in this regard."
