GMail Drive -- A New Network Drive on Your Machine

GMail is not just email box for us from now. Can you imagine that GMail can be used as a network storage medium accessed through your local machine if only you have GMail account and network. That is just easy!

It is GMail Drive that achieve this great job! It adds a drive in your Windows Explorer or My Computer. You can use it just like using the C, D...local drive on your machine. 1000MB is a relative huge storage for normal user. Probably sometimes you think that how many letters I need to fill up this huge 'tank'. Now you've got an idea?

GMail Drive is a shell namespace extension which creates a virtual filesystem on the top of your GMail account and enables you to save and retrieve files stored on your GMail, even to create folders on this virtual drive, but folders will not appear in your GMail box. In your GMail box the files are still organized as emails. Folders are just a kind of virtual organization structure on your machine.

Detailed information can be gotten in the GMail Drive's website.
