Get the most out of Gmail with Gspace Extension for Firefox

Although there are tons of free online backup provider, people still try to exploit Gmail for storing something more than just emails, maybe reliability isn’t an issue with Gmail. There tools to which help them to do that, Gspace is one such tool which comes as a Firefox Extension and behaves like an online drive. You can upload files and retrieve them from any internet capable machine or just use Gmail as on big FTP host.

Once installed, you’ll notice a new option called Gspace under Tools, clicking on it opens a new tab with a neat FireFTP like interface. You can both upload or download files. Additionally, you can even upload files and share them with your friends.

 

I tried to send a test file to my own email address, it worked and the file arrived as an attachment, but the mail wasn’t properly formatted.
