GMail Drive is a Shell Namespace Extension that creates a virtual filesystem around your Google Mail account, allowing you to use Gmail as a storage medium. This can be very useful to store important files somewhere where you can access them whenever you want (just login into GMail and download). Since Google offers as much as 7GB (and the storage volume is increasing every day), it should be enough to save your presentation or holiday pictures.

Warning: This shell extension works fine with Windows XP but  can cause some problems when running Windows Vista or Windows 7. Please contact the creator at bjarke@viksoe.dk if you experience any problems!

GMail Drive stores the files you upload as mails, containing the path, filename and other information such as file size in the subject, and the data itself as an attachment. For each new file, you will have a mail in your inbox, spamming it quite a lot if you upload many files. Thus you should create a filter similar to the one I created:

This will order and archive all the files from GMail Drive.
