Store Files In Your GMail Account

Thursday, Feb. 24 2005 | Author: jeremy

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.

Share and Enjoy

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.
