Check this out . . .

That's pretty slick I'd say.

"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."

heh...

GmailFS has the same concept, except that it's not for Windows. Pretty niffty, if you ask me. It even does a trick to use multiple emails for files more than 10MB (Gmail's size limit). I'm sure that this one does the same.

Hello and welcome to last year! This would actually be pretty cool if not for 2 rather crappy restrictions:
1) 10MB size limit, doesn't create multiple messages to split up large files.
2) Can't assign a drive letter to it!

Yeah, well I didn't know about the ones for Linux, etc.

So I guess GmailFS is better.

Well ... there you go Windows users [me] ... that have, uh, maybe some good 10mb files to store ...

I tried.
