Yesterday Google Apps announced they are rolling out the ability for Google Apps users to upload and securely share any type of file internally and externally using Google Docs. Every Google Apps Standard Edition users will have 1GB free storage. If think this is good, check out Microsoft Skydrive free 25GB storage. Yes, you read it right 25GB storage.
