The basic version is free and allows you to store 5 gigabytes of documents, and listen to music files, the ability of the service may be extended on a subscription basis.
The service is available from an Android phone or any browser, except the browser of the iPhone and iPod touch from Apple. GOOGLE AND APPLE ON ROWS Apple like Google are supposed to start their own service for storing and playing music online, but none of the two giants has yet submitted a functional service.
For this type of service, the difficulty lies not in the technical aspects - Amazon has a large hosting service, but Google also - as in the management of copyright. According to the American press, the music service from Google is almost finalized, but would run into problems of agreements with the beneficiaries.
For its part, Apple plans to develop online services, called "the clouds", with the next version of IOS, the operating system for phones and tablets. The launch of this new version has been delayed until this summer, after the opening of a new central server in which Apple has invested a billion dollars (710 million).
