Google has announced offering additional storage space but it will come for a price! It will cost consumers $20 per year for around 2.8GB additional space, and nearly $500 for 250GB space annually, the company said. While users of Gmail and Picasa already get 1GB to 2GB of free storage, the additional storage space that Google is offering can be used across Google applications, including Picasa, Gmail, Google Docs, Google Spreadsheets, etc.

The extra capacity that users subscribe will effectively act as a common pool of additional on-line storage for a host of Google services.

Ryan Aquino, a software engineer with Google, wrote on the company’s official blog that the move is aimed at quenching users’ thirst for online storage.

He wrote that in case of online storage, whether it’s a picture, a video, or an email, users would be able to store it without having to worry about whether they’ve got enough space in each particular product.
