I came across this sofware while reading PC World Magazine. It creates a virtual file system on top of your gmail account. Letting you drag and drop files between your computer and gmail. I always used gmail to store files, this just makes it a heck alot easier check it out.

It has some bugs but its still very useful.

yeah, it works, but you are still limited to the 10Mb file attachment size

[mantonr]

yeh i used this for a while. shame about the 10mb limit though

[galla2k4eva]

thanks I've been looking for this but wasn't sure what it was called.

[jammin]

Yeah, also been using it for a while. 10mb limit is a little irritating, but as long as you remember to chunk large files up there's no problem.

[ClayMeow]

yeah, this is old news. the 10mb limit annoys me as well. Not their fault though, it's google's attachment limit.

I can't seem to load anything with more than 10 characters in filename length? Anyone else getting that?

[drewkivela]

I uninstalled it. Seems like a good idea, but as previous posters have said, it's a pain. And once uploaded, you've got to label it and archive it. It's not much different than mailing yourself an email attachment. I've just started uploading key files to my web host via FTP when making website changes. I can upload whole files, see what I have, and since I'm paying for 1000MB and using 30, why not?

you don't have to label and archive it everytime. I setup a filter that does both automatically

That's the problem, it's supposed to be 40 characters limit, but I was having to cut down *some* files to 10 chars (including the extension)

lol, i set up a whole *separate account* for data storage... why anyone would want to spam themself with attachments on their main account is beyond me
