Using Gmail as a Drive in Windows

Gmail recently increased their storage space to a massive 4GB. This of course is nothing compared to the current storage capacity of the hard disk drives, but what if you could use Gmail as an online data storage facility? For an online storage facility, it can do wonders.

Most of the companies offering online storage charge some fees for their facility, and Gmail also offers a massive 400 Gigabytes of storage which would cost $500 per year. But most users like me will be happy to use that massive 4GB of online storage facility for free. You can even save your important files and backups on Gmail.

You can use the Gmail Drive Extension (which of course is a freeware) to use Gmail as a drive in Windows and instantly store and retrieve files from your Gmail account like it was a normal drive on your Windows.

I use it to backup important data, not as my main backup location but a secondary one. All files that are stored on the drive are accessible on the Gmail website as well which means it is also possible to store files that you work with on different computers.
