Gmail Drive


You know when you log into Gmail, it has that 2+ GB of storage space ticker? Well, most of us don't get that much spam. Here's a neat idea, and maybe even more convenient than a USB flash drive. After all, you can't lose this!
The two gigabytes of storage you get with a Gmail account seems like an enormous waste of space for just e-mail. You're not likely ever to fill it; were you to come close, Google would no doubt have doubled the space by then. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to use some of that storage for something other than mail?

Well, you can. A free piece of software and the know-how to change a few Gmail settings are all you need to turn your Gmail storage into a virtual hard drive you can access any time you're connected to the Internet.
