use Gmail space as online storage drive

Recently Google announced that users can now buy more online storage for Google services just by paying a small fee. Why not use this online storage space and outdoor use can be a network drive or hard drive of a computer clean.

Use the storage unit such as Google Google

I will show different ways that you can use your Gmail as your hard drive, also free. You will be able to download (or should I say to copy) files from your Gmail account to your computer as you would from a reader on your computer. You can also use this space to transfer content directly from your computer and save it online in your Gmail account.

1. GMail Drive

Gmail Drive free guide

GMail Drive is a Shell Namespace Extension that creates a virtual filesystem around your Google Mail account so that you can use Gmail as a storage medium.

GMail Drive creates a virtual filesystem on top of your Google Gmail account and you can save and retrieve files in your Gmail account directly within Windows Explorer. GMail Drive literally adds a new drive to your computer for the My Computer folder, where you can create new folders, copy and drag'n'drop files.

Gmail Drive, you can easily copy files to your Gmail account and retrieve them again.

When you create a new file in Gmail Drive, it generates an e-mail messages to your account. E-mail Inbox is the normal file is attached to an e-mail. GMail Drive periodically checks your mail account (Gmail search function), if new files have arrived and to rebuild the directory structures. But basically GMail Drive acts as any other hard drive installed on your computer.

You can copy files to and from the GMail Drive folder simply by using drag and drop as you're used to with the normal Explorer folders.

Because the files cluttering your Gmail inbox, you can create a filter in Gmail to automatically move the files (prefixed with the letters gmailfs subject) to your archived mail folder.

Please note that GMail Drive is still an experimental tool. There are still a number of file system limitations (such as the total file size must be less than 65 characters). Since the tool hooks with Google's free Gmail, changes in the Gmail system may break the tool's ability to function. I can not guarantee that files stored in this manner will be accessible in the future.
