GMail Drive Shell Extension description
A Shell Namespace Extension that creates a virtual filesystem around
your Google GMail account
GMail Drive is a Shell Namespace Extension that creates a virtual
filesystem around your Google GMail account, allowing you to use GMail
as a storage medium.
GMail Drive creates a virtual filesystem on top of your Google GMail
account and enables you to save and retrieve files stored on your GMail
account directly from inside Windows Explorer.
GMail Drive literally adds a new drive to your computer under the My
Computer folder, where you can create new folders, copy and drag'n'drop
files to.GMail Drive shell extension is a tool that creates a virtual
filesystem.
Ever since Google started to offer users a GMail e-mail account, which
includes storage space of a 1000 megabytes, you have had plenty of
storage space but not a lot to fill it up with.
With GMail Drive you can easily copy files to your GMail account and
retrieve them again. When you create a new file using GMail Drive, it
generates an e-mail and posts it to your account.
The e-mail appears in your normal Inbox folder, and the file is attached
as an e-mail attachment. GMail Drive periodically checks your mail
account (using the GMail search function) to see if new files have
arrived and to rebuild the directory structures.
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.
Because the GMail files will clutter up your Inbox folder, you may wish
to create a filter in GMail to automatically move the files (prefixed
with the GMAILFS letters) to your archived mail folder.
Please note that GMail Drive is still an experimental tool. There's
still a number of limitations of the file-system (such as total filename
size must be less than 40 characters), and it doesn't make full use of
the secure internet protocols available.
You can try Xmail alternative for portability.
Requirements:
· Internet Explorer 5 or better
