The other day I was looking for a safe place (meaning not in my house) to store backups of my website(s) and other important things. With a little digging I came across this great tool that allows you to mount your gmail account directly to your windows machine as if it was a disk drive. I can simply drag and drop any file from my windows explorer up to my gmail inbox where it will no doubt be safe.  Pretty cool shite.

Here is what creator viksoe.dk has to say:

” 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.”

The only draw back I see is the 10MB limitation that gmail sets on file size. I guess it will have to do until google comes up with their disk.google.com. It thnk it is only a matter of time till we all have unlimited, safe, and free strorage brought to the masses by the labs of google.

Enjoy.
