Google’s storage service.

Google’s much-rumored online storage service should be available in a few months, according to a report in The Wall Street Journal late on Monday that cites unnamed sources.

Time has come to store in all you’re necessary docs over the internet storage, and then access over the internet. Google is planning to host a storage service in coming months.

Google spokespeople did not return calls seeking comment on the report. A spokeswoman for the search company reached by the newspaper declined to comment on any specific plans but said “storage is an important component of making Web (applications) fit easily into consumers’ and business users’ lives.”

Rumors of GDrive ended with an explanation saying,  it’s not an product but the way Google employees to store and share files.

The move would raise the stakes in Google’s rivalry with Microsoft, whose productivity applications rule the desktop world. Google has been releasing hosted e-mail, word processing, spreadsheets, calendar, and other programs that compete with Microsoft. While consumers are attracted to the online services of Google’s, corporations have yet to sign up for security and functionality reasons.

Microsoft offers a hosted storage offering of its own, which it renamed Windows Live SkyDrive this summer and has readied Office Live Workspace, a free online tool for viewing, sharing and storing, but not editing, Office documents online.

Google executives espouse a digital world where people can access their data from anywhere in what is called “cloud computing.”
