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.

    Check to see if you have enabled forced https for your gmail account I had it switched on and Gmail Drive wouldn't work. I switched off forced HTTPS in my preferences and it worked fine again.

    This "virtual drive" isn't exactly the greatest thing since sliced bread, but it is still handy. Unfortunately it doesn't work with all GMail accounts, only the ones that end in gmail.com. If you are using your own domain you will have to sign up for an extra GMail account to use this shell. The only other issue I have with it is that you can't create and edit files directly on the drive - it is only meant to copy or move files there. Still, 7GB of hard drive storage on the Internet is a very reasonable price. And the drag and drop feature is very useful.

    Finally the error at login is gone. Almost 6 months having to log on twice.
