Back in November, Google began offering additional storage for Gmail and Picasa at cheap prices. Now, along with opening up Docs to additional file types, Google apps users will be able to upload files of up to 250MB, a limit greater than most e-mail applications typically allow.

“Now accessing your work files does not require a link to your internal office network,” – a represetantive of Google wrote in a blog post. “Nor do you need to e-mail files to yourself, carry around a thumbdrive, or use a company network drive — you can access your files using Google Docs from any web-enabled computer.”

Combined with the common folders option on Google Docs, users can upload files and give authorization for friends or co-workers to edit those documents.

The service will offer up to 1GB of storage for free, and any additional space will cost at 25 cents a gigabyte a year, the same price as far the Gmail/Picasa storage. [Google Docs gets file storage]
