According to a Silicon Valley entrepreneur, GOOGLE may launch a new backup service.
Google's Online backup services allow user to use the internet like a hard drive, usually on a subscription basis. This is part of a shift towards "cloud computing", or moving data onto the web so it is accessible from anywhere.
A Google Australia spokesperson could not confirm Mr Calacanis' prediction.
"The applications Australians use every day, such as email, photo sharing, and word processing, are moving to the web because it's easier to share and access your data from anywhere when it's online, in one place," the spokesperson said.
"Storage is an important part of this move towards 'cloud computing'. That's why we've always offered a lot of free storage.
"However, we don't have anything new to announce right now."
Mr Calacanis said the move towards online backup will help make data storage issues a thing of the past.
"I think backup is going to be one of those problems that was a huge problem yesterday and will not be a problem at all tomorrow."
