apparently somebody came up with a clever idea. and this idea is great for those of you who has a GMail account. it's basically a shell extension to WinXP so you can use gmail as if it were another online harddisk. you can upload files to store in your gmail! ok so i already downloaded it. it's working fine. so go get it.
the technical details is basically the little program converts the file u wish to upload into an email and sends it over. and the file will end up showing in your gmail as an attachment! the subject begins with GMAILFS so you will know where it is if you do a search in your mail. or label it also can.
i know they had it up for months already but i just found it. so sad nobody told me about it! so those who said they have been using it for months should not whine that it is old news! :) well ok here's the downside: each file can be at most 10MB. this is the restriction set by google on the email file attachments.
and there we have it, ladies and gentlemen, another 2gigabytes of storage online thanks to google. feel free to drop me a message if you want to get gmail. i've got 40+ invites!
