GSpace for Firefox – store your files in GMail
Posted by dvanarsd on August 25, 2008
If you have a Google GMail account, you might be able to use all that space they give you for something other than email.
GSpace is an extension for the Firefox browser that helps you to store files, even large ones, in your GMail space.
“This extension allows you to use your Gmail Space (4.1 GB and growing) for file storage. It acts as an online drive, so you can upload files from your hard drive and access them from every Internet capable system. The interface will make your Gmail account look like a FTP host.
After the installation, you’ll get an option called “Gspace” in your “Tools” menu, which opens the GSpace window.
It’s great for storing/sharing files with your friends. Also very good to backup photos and music files (as you can view/listen to them from Gspace).
If you have any problems with the extension, please look at the FAQ page (http://getgspace.com/faq.html). If your question is not listed or the solution doesn’t apply to your specific question, please email the current developer (Fon Labs).
* DISCLOSURE: Gspace uses statcounter.com service to track the usage of the extension”
Note: this is NOT an official Google GMail function, so use at your own risk.
