feedHOW-TO: Use your Gmail account as a personal file server via Engadget
Windows users can (at least temporarily) use their gmail account (assuming you have one) as a personal file server. Engadget shows you how: Use your Gmail account as a personal file server. My guess is that Gmail/Google will make this hard if not impossible to do in the very near future, because this really isn't what the service (which is free) is designed for. If you're storing documents on their server without email attached to them, then you aren't looking at or clicking on their advertising, which is where they get their revenue, right? So why would they allow it? Like I said, they probably won't. But for now it's an interesting hack, and you might enjoy yourself. Frankly, I'm not using Windows, so I'm not sure why I would recommend anybody try it except to have a bunch of people loading up their gmail drives and then having their gmail drives disappear (poof), thus irking them no end. Irking Windows users no end is like a hobby of mine.
