This article title could be regarded as an incredible novelty. But the truth is that a user can actually have for free 25 GB of file storage space on a Windows Live account and in the same time over 7000 GB on GMail.

The service can be accessed only via any modern web browser, as compared with GMail space which is manageable with more intuitive methods.

GMail Drive ads a virtual hard drive to your computer and can be used as an usual one: you are allowed to create directories, drag and drop into them files or folders and more. Practically, this Windows namespace shell extension will send emails to your Gmail inbox with file attachments every time a new file is added to the GMail Drive.

The files can be retrieved later directly from My Computer by accessing the letter corresponding to the GMail Drive or with the help of Firefox web browser after the Gspage add-on was installed. In addition , Gspace add-on provides a player that permits users to listen music files stored on GMail free space.

More than 7GB of storage space can be enabled by making supplementary GMail accounts. Corresponding to the new accounts, different GMail Drives can be added in a given computer with Gmail Drive Config.

In conclusion, the GMail free space is easy to extend and manage from the same computer with simple to install tools which provide optimal methods to manipulate files stored online.

Great Post,

Really liked the ideas on the GMail Drive. But if you are looking for a little more functionality for business use, you should check out DocLanding. It is great for work between the office and home, it is geared towards small businesses and entrepreneurs. Beyond the tools listed above DocLanding also offers versioning, document annotation, controlled (timed) sharing and it is compliant (HIPPA, SEC, and more). It is nice if you need to share sensitive documents without paying for a courier.

Check out a free account at http://www.doclanding.com,

Keep up the great posts,
Will

There is a beta program gladinet(http://www.gladinet.com), which can mount SkyDrive into Windows Explorer, as Gmail Drive would do to Gmail.
