Does Gmail care what you upload to your account for storage?

I'm making myself a bunch of sequentially numbered accounts to hold files and software that I want backed up and always available.

Do they look at the stuff that you are uploading?

And before anyone says anything stupid, no I'm not uploading Warez or Porn. And I don't plan to give anyone access to the accounts either. I just would like to always have access to certain programs and files no matter where I go.

Anyone know the answer to this?

Google is God, God has banned you from Him. Yahoo is the devil, the devil welcomes anyone that wants to go to it.

I'd split it with winrar and then there is a program you can get so that it makes your email appear like another drive on your comp.

I dont know if there is an upload limit. However google does care what kind of file you upload.
Once I needed to upload some document (dont remember if it was pdf or .doc) Anyway since it was big I compressed it using winrar to .rar archive and gmail dio not accept it. But it did accept the much bigger uncompressed .doc

Interesting, I haven't had a issue with rar archives yet.
