Gmail File Space

If you are using Firefox and Gmail, there's a cool extension called gspace which allows you to use Gmail as your file storage. It's similar to Gmail Drive in term of functions -- to store and retrieve files from your Gmail account.

But unlike Gmail Drive, which can only be used on Windows, gspace runs on Firefox -- which means it can be used on (hopefully) any platform that supports Firefox. Well, at least it runs on my Gentoo Linux box :)

To use gspace, you'll need:

• Mozilla Firefox (of course!) with
• gspace extension
• A Gmail account

Just install the extension and restart Firefox and you're done. Start gspace by selecting Tools > GSpace menu in Firefox.

gspace UI looks just like an FTP client (screenshot from gspace website is here), you can select a file from your computer and upload it to your Gmail account, or download a file from your Gmail account to your harddisk. It's that simple!
