Google Goes For The Business Market

Google is teaming up with Salesforce.com to work with businesses, and even before announcing the pairing, they’ve come up with a product, Salesforce Group Edition featuring Google AdWords.   It’s not the first time the two have worked together. Two years ago they came up with a Google Maps-Salesforce mash up which people could use to map their contacts, and just last year Saleforce offered a plug-in that allowed people to create and manage Google ads.   However, this new product will replace Salesforce Team Edition as the company’s entry-level product for small businesses.   “The Internet has completely changed the landscape for small and medium businesses and the alliance between Google and salesforce.com enables companies of all sizes to acquire new customers and streamline their business to experience unfettered success,” said Salesforce in a statement released yesterday.   It’s expected that other Salesforce products will come to have integrated Google capabilities, and the company has hinted it’s already looking in that direction.

Google Drive in Chrome on a MacBook.

Google Drive and Dropbox are two of the most popular cloud storage providers, if not some of the best. They offer a range of exciting features, from secure file storage and transfer, to free storage, file syncing, extensions, chat-app integration, and more. But while they might go toe to toe on some cloud storage specifications, there are others where one is the clear winner. The question is, which one is the best in 2024?

Let's take a close look at Google Drive and Dropbox to see how their latest head to head turns out.
Google Drive wins the free storage battle
Both Dropbox and Google Drive offer free storage space for those who would like to try out their respective services before putting down a few dollars a month for something more expansive and permanent. Google Drive comes standard, with 15GB of free space, far more than Dropbox's initial free storage offering of just 2GB.

Google’s AI just got ears
Gemini Advanced home page.

AI chatbots are already capable of "seeing" the world through images and video. But now, Google has announced audio-to-speech functionalities as part of its latest update to Gemini Pro. In Gemini 1.5 Pro, the chatbot can now "hear" audio files uploaded into its system and then extract the text information.

The company has made this LLM version available as a public preview on its Vertex AI development platform. This will allow more enterprise-focused users to experiment with the feature and expand its base after a more private rollout in February when the model was first announced. This was originally offered only to a limited group of developers and enterprise customers.
