Google has used the same basic idea to get rich: they give away a service and then sell ads to the eyeballs. The policy has worked so well, they’re doing it again. These time they plan on giving away free storage on their servers.

Users would be able to house files they would normally store on personal computers — such as word-processing documents, digital music, video clips and images — on Google’s computers, the Journal said, citing sources familiar with the matter.

According to the Journal, the service could let users access their files through the Internet from different computers and mobile devices when they sign on using a password.

The service could be released as soon as a few months from now, the Journal said, citing a source.

Google reps did not make a comment on the announcement.
