Google wants to keep your documents safe in the cloud
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

"We're happy to announce that over the next few weeks we will be rolling out the ability to upload, store and organize any type of file in Google Docs. With this change, you'll be able to upload and access your files from any computer - all you need is an Internet connection," wrote Vijay Bangaru, Product Manager, Google Docs, on the Google Docs' Blog on January 12.
Consumers will be able to upload any type of document to Google Docs as long as it is within the 250 MB size limit.
Google Docs users will be given 1 GB of free storage and can purchase additional storage for a yearly charge of $0.25 per GB (starting at 20 GB for $5 per year).
