I have to wonder if disabling your GMail account for the sake of 7GB of free storage is worth it? You can buy an 8GB USB thumb drive for less than $15 and *IF* you really need space a 1TB external USB drive can be gotten for $75 (or LESS on sale), that's about 140 times more space than GMail drive, the idea seems good but is it worth it to possibly Lose access to your GMail account, Personally, I think not!

To be clear, this doesn't make it a bad thing..but it's not Google: From Wikipedia,
Caveats
GMail Drive is an experimental package that depends on but is not provided by Google. Changes in Google's Gmail system may render GMail Drive temporarily or permanently inoperable.
The current GMail Drive does not support accounts that are with Google Apps. The Gmail Program Policies do not explicitly ban GMail Drive, shell namespace extensions, or the use of Gmail storage space for files other than e-mail.[2] Nonetheless, immoderate use of GMail Drive may trigger Google to temporarily suspend a Gmail account.[3]

Gmail Drive is just a virtual drive that is connected to your GMail. However you will need to open a Google Account in order to use this software.

Seriously, spambots are spamming betanews (including fileforum) annoys me. Don't click on the spam comment links because they may have malware.

When this first came out people were looking at Google's 'unlimited storage' for emails and thinking 'I'll have some of that !!!' - they were looking for ways to store anything in their email box..

I can not see the point of this now.

Why store documents in a Google email account when you can store documents, pictures, music etc in Google Docs which can be accessed via a variety of tools.

My favorite is http://www.gladinet.com which puts Google Docs, Microsoft SkyDrive, Box.net (and others) right in 'My Computer'

tannenwheel reviewed v1.0.16 on May 29, 2010

i read a lot about google being able to block this tool anytime,

but what really happens, is that they block your whole gmail account.

that is, if you upload or download too much data in a short period of time. so forgett about uploading your mp3 collection (as the screenshot seems to recommend)

fortunately they blocked my account for only one day. my google acount is too important to me, to play with it.

NightOwl888 reviewed v1.0.13 on Sep 8, 2008

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.

While I use and enjoy this program I would very much like to see it automatically split my files. It's a hassle to have to use a program like WinRar to split files larger than 10MB when this can be done on-the-fly through GMail Drive. As I always say: work smarter not harder!

lilcech reviewed v1.0.11 on Mar 19, 2007

I believe Banquo is wrong. The files are saved onto your gmail account. It sends an email to your gmail and the file is as an attachment. Your files would still be there in your gmail account. The thing that sucks about it is that you can only upload 10 mb of data at a time.

Banquo reviewed v1.0.11 on Mar 19, 2007

Well at least Aegis69 knows what he is.

The only way they can block this tool is to disallow you from sending email to yourself.

Who cares how big my hard drive is, have you ever hear of backups. Yes I do maintain backups of my important stuff on other computers in the home, and on removable media. But what if my house burns down and everything is destroyed, I'll be real happy I have Gmail for an off site backups. And no they won't be looking at my data, at least not any time soon, cause I encrypt anything I care about keeping confidential.

It doesn't have to be installed on every computer you come in contact with in order to be useful. FYI, Gmail does have a web site where you can log in and read your email, and download attachments.

Mr. Aegis69,

'Is anybody this desperate for an extra gig of space when we have 400 gig hard drives for 150 bucks?'

What if people, say, wish to retrieve their files from any computer — for free and without any kind of expiry date? This is a useful tool, even for people with gargantuan hard drives.

The only thing I'd add to this utility would be an automatic splitting feature for files over 10MB. Nonetheless, it deserves a healthy 5!

Is anybody this desperate for an extra gig of space when we have 400 gig hard drives for 150 bucks?

Besides, you all know Google is going to find a way to ban this tool as soon as they get out of Beta. I'm giving it a 3 because the program works as advertised for now, but I feel this type of email misuse will quickly fall out of favor. The overall concept is poor.

2.) Some kind of auto-splitting feature, so that if you have a file thats larger than 10MB, then gMail Drive would auto-split it so that to the user, the file could still be seamlessly up/downloaded.

This program definitely works well. You'd probably want to setup another gmail account though for it because every file you upload creates a new email in your inbox. So don't bother using your email account for this unless you want a bunch of emails clogging your inbox. To the guy who posted about having the errors... I got the same errors when I tried uploading full directories rather than individual files and when I tried using secure HTTP.

are you guys actually getting this thing to work? Every version that I have tried does the same thing. It comes up with an error, and says something like this might be a temporary issue, but more than likely google changed their service to block this tool.
Am I doing something wrong? Are you suppose to UNINSTALL a previous version before installing a new one? Do you guys run it from windows explorer? I have tried that, and I have Xplorer2, and I have tried to do it through internet explorer. I have never got this tool to work. I think it would be sortof cool if I could get it to work.

To ryanyogan:
There is no way google can stop this except to shut off the service or give you less space. As long as it's available, and you can send/recieve files, this app will work. Will just need occasional fixes to keep it working when gMail changes.
Also, you talk about a measly 2 gigs, have you ever heard of backups? I use this on a daily basis to make backups of my really important data (You know, in case of some massive disaster that destroys my computer. i.e. hurricanes). Anyone who knows anything knows that off site backups are invaluable.

Great piece of software. Love the new features, mainly being able to open/save files directly from the folder. Also love the prompt updates to keep it working.

Great little program,
Saves having to carry a pen drive around when you can easily drag & drop files to & from Gmail in Windows Explorer.
When a file is saved to your GMail drive the program creates a mail in your inbox with the file as an attachment, the subject line of these created emails all begin with 'GMAILFS:'.
If you want you can then create a label for any mails with a subject beginning with 'GMAILFS' so you can easily bring up those files on computers which don't have 'GMail Drive' installed.

The 10MB file limit can complicate things a little for large files causing you having to split them up into 9MB chunks with an archiver program like WinRAR or IZArc but after all, GMail is primarily intended for email use.

GMail Drive is a novel way to capitalize on all that free online storage, a must for any GMail/Windows user.

Google is not going to allow this; they've already blocked it in a previous version and eventually they will block it for good (or sue). Nice idea but a waste of time.

This program works great! No problems at all.

Blackhole8746, this is not a product made by Google and this idea has been used before.

This porgram is just marvellous! Never been tested or even thought of before the new virtual drive idea is great... It makes you see Google's creativity, however I'm pretty sure MSN will soon make their own only 1000000000 better... As ususal (Like in Desktop Search uitilites) However Yahoo! is the worst of all...

ITs a great little program. As far as how legal it is, I dont think it should be illegal. What all this program does is, it sends an email from you to you with an attachment (upto a max of 10MB that GMail allows) . So from that point of view , seems pretty legal tool to me .

Domingo: Gmail DOES have pop3 now. It's in your gmail settings. :)

Great program.. although I do wonder about how legal it is.

asellus reviewed v1.0.4 on Dec 13, 2004

I have always wondered whether this program is legal or not.

Very nice little program, this update is very nice also! Auto-login =)

Thanks!

This program works great. No problems at all, this will make transferring files between work and home very convenient.

I would like to see it use the file type icons rather than the system file icon, only thing keeping me from giving it a 5.

Domingo reviewed v1.0.3 on Nov 4, 2004

Pretty neat program (now that I can use it) although once POP3 access is implimented I think just using Outlook or Outlook Express might be as good or better.

Nice Prog. I also have gmail invites. Email me at pvolk1@hotmail.com with "GMAIL INVITE" as the subject and i will get you one if i have any left. If you dont get one right away its cause im out but gmail usually replentishes them over time so i will keep all the requests and get to them on a first come first serve basis. I will probably get TONS of requests so dont be suprised if you dont get one soon or ever.

This will be really cool when... I'm... actually able to get a GMail account.

Is there any way to make multiple gmail drives to work simultaneously?

darkuni reviewed v1.02 on Oct 20, 2004

This is great stuff here. The ONLY thing I could use is proxy server settings so I could use it at work - but otherwise - brilliant work. Anyone with GMail should give this a try.

Nice Im am useing this to back upp all the s*** i need to back up because im getting a new cpu mobo graphx crd and a dvdrw drive oh anh new ram and im going to have to reinstall windows

Sure, this could use some bells and whistles... as a few noted: complete preview of all attachments, filetype icons, etc.

Still... this kind of thing makes me jump for geek joy. I dont have to carry a jump drive. Now I have a mapped drive that makes it very simple to transfer files between home and work. No more emailing things to myself and wondering whether the attachment will get past my work's mail server's antivirus. Thanks!

murphy reviewed v1.02 on Oct 19, 2004

this feature should be develop for Yahoo as well

poedgirl reviewed v1.02 on Oct 19, 2004

good idea, but could be made more standards compliant, eg: icons, etc

kmleow reviewed v1.02 on Oct 19, 2004

Can the author please make a similar program for Yahoo Briefcase?

jogygeorge reviewed v1.02 on Oct 19, 2004

A very sensible and useful tool for someone who has Gmail.

Add to it the feature of viewing all attachments irrespective of them being uploaded via Gmail Drive or received as a mail attachment (like Attach@Gmail does) and we have a whole application!

Jeavis reviewed v1.02 on Oct 18, 2004

Wow ... This app is great. Hopefully GMail doesn't shut this down.

DJGM reviewed v1.02 on Oct 18, 2004

So far so good. But, how long before Google but the kybosh on it?

BklynKid reviewed v1.02 on Oct 18, 2004

Wow what a great little utility!!!

A few bugs here and there (for example, can't search the GMail Drive), but I won't let that stop me from giving it 5/5! Download now if you have GMail!

Also to the review below, you can right-click anywhere in the GMail Drive folder and select 'Login As' to change the login or to stop it form auto-logging-in.

ajaydsouza reviewed v1.02 on Oct 18, 2004

Tested this out and it works successfully.

Liked the idea of it saving your id and pass so that you can login without entering it again.

However, I couldn't find a way of disabling that login and maybe changing to another one.

Works good. I am sure improvements will happen.

Works great, loses connection to server sometimes, but maybe that's just my net.

Get it while you can!

alcvanamelsvoort reviewed v1.02 on Oct 18, 2004

I installed this application only this morning. It is straightforward, elegant and does what it claims to do. I hightlight the file to transfer and it is sent on its way by means of a right-click of the mouse. You will need a Gmail account, however.

wuSam reviewed v1.02 on Oct 18, 2004

i would give it a 5 but i'm not sure, if the files which i "sent to gmail drive" will ONLY appear in MY GMail-Account.
