It could be released as early as a few months from now, one of the people said."

However the boon might not all be a 100% as "One limitation of such an Internet-based storage service is that it isn't accessible when a person's computer or phone is offline, such as when one is in an airplane, though he could still copy required files to the laptop or other device before disconnecting from the Internet."
