Gmail Drive

GMail Drive is a Shell Namespace Extension that creates a virtual filesystem around your Google Gmail account, allowing you to use it as a storage medium. it creates a virtual filesystem on top of your Google account and enables you to save and retrieve files stored on your account directly from inside Windows Explorer. It literally adds a new drive to your computer under the My Computer folder, where you can create new folders, copy and dragndrop files to. Ever since Google started to offer users an e-mail account, which includes storage space of 2000 megabytes, you have had plenty of storage space but not a lot to fill it up with.

With this tool you can easily copy files to your Gmail account and retrieve them again. You can copy files to and from the folder simply by using dragndrop like youre used to with the normal Explorer folders.

Note that it is still an experimental tool. There is still a number of limitations of the file-system (such as total filename size must be less than 65 characters). Since the tool hooks up with the free Service provided by Google, changes in the system may break the tool's ability to function. I cannot guarantee that files stored in this manner will be accessible in the future.
