Just hours after Microsoft rolled out its Skydrive online storage service today, Google unveiled its pricing for shared online storage available to both Gmail and Picasa, the search giant’s Web-based photo and e-mail services.
The new storage space, in addition to the free allowance for each service – 1GB for Picasa and 2.8GB for Gmail, is priced starting at $20 a year for another 6GB. Other plans provide an extra 25GB for $75 annually, 100GB for $250 and 250GB for $500.
In comparison, Microsoft’s Windows Live Skydrive, which it relaunched today with interface changes and a name change from Live Folders, offers 500MB, about 18% of Gmail’s free limit.
