GMail Drive shell extension 1.0.5
free download
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 medium.
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. When you create a new file using GMail Drive, it generates
an e-mail and posts it to your account. The e-mail appears in your
normal Inbox folder, and the file is attached as an e-mail attachment.
GMail Drive periodically checks your mail account (using the GMail
search function) to see 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'n'drop like you're used to with the normal Explorer folders.
Because the GMail files will clutter up your Inbox folder, you
may wish to create a filter in GMail to automatically move the files
(prefixed with the GMAILFS letters in the subject) to your archived
mail folder.
Please note that GMail Drive is still an experimental tool.
