gmail drive

chen1969

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 media.

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.

YEa.. It is indeed good. But, you forgot to add in 1 thing. The Max File Size you can attach or upload is 20Mb. But anyway, It is still very big.

I heard the problem is that GMail script keep changing its url structure (or the mechnisms involved I'm nopt familiar with). Therefore the script doesn't work every time and it keep getting updated.

There's a new site XMailHardDrive that lets you use Gmail as an online drive. I haven't tried it but it's a good idea that was bound be made eventually. Bear in mind it's still in beta though.

Gmail Filesystem？

GmailFS provides a mountable Linux filesystem which uses your Gmail account as its storage medium. GmailFS is a Python application and uses the FUSE userland filesystem infrastructure to help provide the filesystem, and libgmail to communicate with Gmail.

GmailFS supports most file operations such as read, write, open, close, stat, symlink, link, unlink, truncate and rename. This means that you can use all your favourite unix command line tools to operate on files stored on Gmail (e.g. cp, ls, mv, rm, ln, grep etc. etc.).

Please be gentle on the code. This is my first foray into Python and I'm sure the code is far from elegant. I'm particularly concerned with my attempts to manipulate mutable byte arrays. I'm sure that there must be a less clumsy way of doing it than the nasty list -> array -> string path I'm currently using. This language has a reputation as an excellent choice for rapid prototyping. The first working version of GmailFS took about 2 days of coding. There was an additional 1.5 days spent on performance tuning and bugfixing. Given that this includes language learning curve, the reputation seems well deserved. A special mention should go to libgmail and FUSE, both greatly contributed to the short development time.
