Use your gmail account for a virtual hard drive.

Use your gmail account as a limited flash drive.

GMail Drive is a Shell Namespace Extension that creates a virtual filesystem around your Google GMail account, allowing you to use GMail as a storage medium.

GMail Drive creates a virtual filesystem on top of your Google GMail account and enables you to save and retrieve files stored on your GMail account directly from inside Windows Explorer.

GMail Drive literally adds a new drive to your computer under the My Computer folder, where you can create new folders, copy and drag'n'drop files to.


Please note that GMail Drive is still an experimental tool. There's still a number of limitations of the file-system (such as total filename size must be less than 40 characters), and it doesn't make full use of the secure internet protocols available.

I've installed this on my machine. It's pretty useful. I've now got an extra 7gb of online storage space that's easy for me to access. Of course, Gmail’s 10MB attachment limit means you won’t be able to archive massive files like videos.

It is very useful. I have been using it for about 6 months. I believe the attachments are limited to 20MB.

another good one is dropbox
GetDropbox

Free Accounts

Dropbox allows you to store up to 2 GB free of charge. Dropbox reserves the right to terminate Free Accounts at any time, with or without notice. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if a Free Account is inactive for ninety (90) days, then Dropbox may delete any or all of Your Files without providing additional notice.

Works very similar to gmail virtual drive. Just drop files to the dropbox folder and the will be sent to the dropbox server securely.
