There have been plenty of applications/scripts released that will allow you to store files in your gMail account. Most of them have been limited, usually to around 10mb.
This is a set of PHP scripts that will allow you to upload files of any size to your Gmail account.
A list of the features:
- upload / download files of any size
- delete files
- keep regular emails in the same account
- compresses uploaded files
- displays space remaining
- send files to other gMail accounts
- forward stored files to other gMail accounts
- requires the other accounts to use gDrive
Definitely something I am going to be looking in to.
Nice. Now I can sent a batch of pictures or mp3s to friends withoug having to calculate how much mbs I’ve used.
The other features you mentioned seem… well, what’s new?
I imagine this violates their Terms. Thus, could this result in account deletion?
I use a program called gmail drive that is similar to those php scripts called GMail Drive, which adds a Gmail account as a virtual drive on your “my computer” and you can add files up to 10 megs on it like it were an ftp.
It’s quite good even though I currently don’t have much use for it since I have 3 flashdisks but still I have the option of using it in my head in case I do need to.
Nice job.
There is another similar tool for sharing file online. Its name is PGD ( Php Gmail Drive) by Rahat Ayub. You can download it from http://pgd.sourceforge.net
