Gmail is built on the idea that email can be more intuitive. And it comes with a whooping 7 GB or more of storage space. These acres of storage space make it a great medium for storing files. To do this you will need a software. This where GMail Drive comes in.
Gmail Drive allows you to use the storage of your gmail account like a virtual drive. GMail Drive creates a virtual filesystem on top of your Google Gmail account and enables you to save and retrieve files stored on your Gmail account. Gmail Drive is not very popular and widely adopted tool. However, I am sure many of you will like it.
Note: GMail Drive is not supported by Google.
How to Install the Gmail Drive
1) Go to the Gmail Drive website (http://www.viksoe.dk/code/gmail.htm). See the first external link below for this address. Scroll to the bottom and pick a download site, and download the file.
2) Extract the setup file from the ZIP and install it. The Gmail Drive will now appear in “My Computer”.
3) Create a filter and a label called “Gmail Drive” or something similar. The filter should put everything with “GMAILFS:” in the subject into the label. You should also have it skip the “Inbox”. This will prevent your Inbox from filling up with Gmail Drive stuff.
Note:
1) The Gmail Drive is fairly slow, so keep that in mind.
2) Gmail may block this so be careful. GMail Drive is not officially supported by Google.
