Play Your Video Files in Google Docs

Google Docs can be used to store your files in any format using the upload feature. Files can be converted to Google Docs format (presentations, documents, and spreadsheets) or they can be stored as is. The storage limit per account has been 1GB.

Yesterday, Google Docs introduced new support for uploading video files, each up to 1 GB in size. When the video file is uploaded, it is first processed and then can be played from your Document List. Google Docs is supporting a number of formats for upload. Additionally, the video files can be shared.
