    Use Gmail as a virtual drive under Windows..!

    Mm... geek curio.

    "GMail Drive shell extension
    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."



    A clever little application based on the `GmailFS for Linux` hack that was recently announced - throw a 1GB webdrive on your Windows desktop. Will probably disappear when google take notice of it, but certainly interesting and unbelievably easy to get up and running for anyone who likes these kind of toys.
    Certainly would lead to interesting possibilities for the targeted ads depending on what you upload... pr0n fans beware.
