Google Drive leaks suggest 5GB free storage, in-app document editing

[![Google Drive leaks suggest 5GB free storage, in-app document editing][1] ][2]

Mountain View has been leaking Google Drive [details][3] like a glacial trickle, but we still have no firm notion of how much free cloud storage it'll bring or just how deeply it'll be integrated with other services. There have been rumors of a [Dropbox][4]-like 2GB limit, but now a screenshot purporting to show the beta version's main welcome page points to a healthy 5GB instead. Moreover, Google's Support portal mentions that the Drive app for Android will have document-editing capabilities, which brings us back to the question of whether this is a whole new service, or an add-on to Google Docs or indeed a complete [re-branding][5] of Google's documents platform. Regardless, calling it 'Drive' still makes it sound like [sat nav][6].
