GMail Drive is a Shell Namespace Extension that creates a virtual filesystem around your Google GMail account, allowing you to use GMail as a storage media.

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 directly from inside Windows Explorer. GMail Drive literally adds a new drive to your computer under the My Computer folder, where you can create new folders, copy and drag'n'drop files to.

CLick here to download Gmail Drive (http://www.viksoe.dk/code/downloads/gmailfs.zip)

After u done downloading, unzip it, then install and when you go to my computer, you will see a drive called Gmail Drive. Click that, sign in your gmail account and start uploading Files :cheers:

I uploaded a couple of Mp3s and softwares and so IT WORKS!

If you want Gmail, send me a PM with your email address and I will send you one

so is this pretty fast or does it take a long time to upload files?

It depends on your Upload speed. It bascially creates a email and attaches this file

Two questions:
1) can I uninstall this easily?
2) does it put files in volumes if they're too big or does it stick with the ten meg cap?

Edit: Forget it, found the answer to #2.

So what's the answer to #2? Also does this make your Gmail Drive as secure or private as you Gmail email messages?

The Gmail drive is secure and private like your email address.... It asks for password for your accout, logs in and CReates a email and names your file name and store the info in that as attachments...

The answer to #2 is that attachments ARE limited to a max of 10MB each.

so could you .rar a larger file to series of 9.9meg .rar files and upload a bunch to get around the 10 meg file limit, or is there a limit to just 10 megs total?

any idea if this program is legit? When you type in the username and password what are the odds that it gets sent to some spammer who can then sully your good name? Just wondering. Sorry to be negative.

Its not legit. Why would anyone want to hand out something that says, lets abuse the space... I would not write gmail and tell them you are doing this. Its just a gift from some bored haxors.
