Now the company is offering up to 250GB of storage for a fee. The storage can be applied against Gmail and Picasa at the moment, and the company plans to make the extra storage count against its other services (Including Docs & Spreadsheets) in future.

Plans start at $20 per year for 6GB of space, rising to $500 per year for 250GB of online storage.
