It’s a secret no longer, Google has officially announced that in the coming weeks users would be able to upload, store files in Google Docs in additional formats compatible with CAD, HTML, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe InDesign, RAW photos, ZIP or RAR archives.

Gone are the days where you have to do things the roundabout way, emailing yourself so that when you’re on the move you can access your important files. Essentially, users would be able to upload a file of up to 250MB to Google Docs. You would have 1GB of free storage online, without having to convert to a Google Doc format. Additional storage would be available at $0.25/GB/year.

This will streamline the work process for those who work often with large graphics and raw photos, you will no longer need to worry about file compatibility when collaborating with other users. Utilize this further by combining this feature with Shared Folders, for others to easily view, download, and print. Even if you were to forget your thumbdrive, there’ll be no need to worry as you know your file is riding safely on the cloud, readily accessible.

This will be available for Standard, Premier, Education, Team and Partner Editions. Though specially for Premier Edition users, Google Docs List API will be available to upload files to Google Docs, or users can purchase applications offered by third parties that enable you to migrate and sync your files to Google Docs.
