GMail Drive shell extension

viksoe.dk - 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. "

Interesting... I've seen the Linux GmailFS. Now there's a Windows utility/extension that lets you use your gmail account as a remote file system.

I'm thinking Google is going to squash this kind of usage of GMail accounts (it takes a bit to fill 1GB with emails, but as a remote FS I can fill it in minutes), but until then this is pretty cool.
