Techcrunch was able to uncover additional details from Google Docs product manager Vijay Bangar about the new Google Docs service. The maximum file size has been set to 250 Megabytes which is the same limit that is currently in place for file types that are not converted by the Google service.

Each Google Docs user receives a free quote of 1 Gigabyte of data that can be stored on the Google Docs servers. Additional Gigabytes can be purchased for the low fee of $0.25 per Gigabyte per year. Business users on the other hand have to pay more as their pricing starts at $17 per year for 5 Gigabytes of storage space. No bandwidth fees are charged apparently.
All the existing features of Google Docs including the ability to make uploads private or public are available for the general file types as well.
Will Google Docs become the new Rapidshare? Could be a dream come true for the file sharing scene: Unlimited bandwidth, no wait time and 1 Gigabyte of space.
