G-Mail Drive
Check it out

What GMail Drive does is basically create a virtual storage device on your PC.

This enables you to access your GMail storage and treat it just like you would a storage device. You can create folders, copy files, extract files, you name it!

Please note that this is still experimental software. Use at your own risk.

Excerpt from Gmail Drive's homepage:

Quote:
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.
Ever since Google started to offer users a GMail e-mail account, which includes storage space of a 1000 megabytes, you have had plenty of storage space but not a lot to fill it up with. With GMail Drive you can easily copy files to your GMail account and retrieve them again.

Re: G-Mail Drive
Hm, it has been around a while as "googlefs" for linux. But for Windows this is new. Seems shiny.


But, you could as well go to GMX and get everything just as google (incl. 1GB), except the data-spying thing, PLUS you'd get your storage with a webdav-compatible interface, that lots of applications (e.g. explorer) support anyway.

Yeah my friend's had that for a few years but I'm not German and even my GCSE German isn't sufficient enough to have me understand it

Oh sorry, I thought they'd offer an international interface. I always thought you could easily switch languages somewhere...
