Yesterday, I wrote about Gspace Firefox Extension for using Gmail as storage medium. In response to that post, Sindhu shows us a similar tool called Gmail Drive which acts virtual filesystem over your Gmail account and enables you to store or retrieve files directly through your Windows Explorer. Gmail Drive literally adds a new drive under My Computer. You must login into Gmail before using that drive. Once logged in, you can create new folder, drag and drop files, just like a physical drive.
What it actually does is, whenever you create a new file or copy a new file, it generates an email with the file as an attachment and posts it to your account. This file is visible as an email in your inbox. If you post too many files, your inbox might be cluttered, so you may create a filter in Gmail to automatically move your file to the archives if the subject contains GMAILFS.
Gmail Drive is a great tool for all Gmail lovers, but the tool might be suspended if Google decided to block it. If everybody starts using Gmail Drive, then Google will run out of storage space.

Awesome! One question, will Google be cool about this? As we are now using Gmail for pure storage instead of emails.

Hey Thilak, I just noticed… that you are using HP Pavilion System….I too have a HP Pavilion t730i model (its more than 2 years old)…but what I dont like about their system is, having one big partition as C drive for all the contents and another 5GB drive for recovery…if your windows get corrupt then your whole C drive fails…So try to partition into a separate drive for windows and the rest for your contents.

Mr.Byte: That’s true. My model is DV6137TX, Actually, I have a different partition for Linux. 20GB Backup out of my 120GB Drive
BTW, T730i is a desktop or a laptop?

T730i is desktop and DV series is Laptop I guess… As I recently installed Vista, I partitioned it according to my need using Vista partition utility.
