Add any file to Google Docs!

Wow... Great new feature on Google Docs (Google's free web-based Office productivity suite) allows users to upload and store ANY file type. Previously, users were restricted to store only those files created with one of the Google Docs tools (Document, Spreadsheet, Presentation, and (web) Form). Now users may upload photos, Microsoft Office documents, PDFs, etc and store them all in Google Doc, then access them under their GMail login or share individual files with others. It looks like the default storage capacity is 1 GB, but Google offers upgrades ranging from 20 GB for $5 per year up to 1 TB for $256 per year. The new Google Docs services doesn't appear to include an auto synchronization feature - yet, but given the fact that other services are offering that (e.g. DropBox) I could see them adding auto-sync in the future.

Thanks Google!
