Tip: Create a GDrive for your Computer
Ever since Google started to offer users a Gmail e-mail account, which includes increasingly generous storage space to use. And not many of us are using them all.
GMail utility is a free utility that help you to unleash this free cloud pool of storage for meaningful purpose. The utility creates a GMail Drive that allows you to easily copy files to your Google Mail 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 in the subject) to your archived mail folder. And remember, this is “cloud computing” approach. You need to be online to store or retrieve files from this folder. If you want offline/online capability. Please read the Google Docs/Gears HERE!
