>
> 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.
>
> 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.
