More on GDrive sitings
Google Operating System has more about the reported finding, including the possibility of more features:
“* Publish. All of the files you store on Platypus are automatically accessible from the (corporate) web.
* Share. Other Googlers can mount your Platypus folders and open your files in read-only mode.
* Local IO speeds. Open and save as quickly as you could if you were accessing them from your C: drive.”
These pages are believed to have been only visible to Google employees and had been linked to a recent Google acquisition, Writely - accessible at http://writely.com/index.html. This has been taken down but there is a mirror available.
Web Metrics Guru speculates about what this could due to AOL and X-Drive.
