Is there a way to use the 1gig gmail acct to store files?

[JEDI]

is there a way to use your gmail acct as an online harddrive?

ie: Is there a way to easily backup your data directory of like 1000 files in your gmail acct?

Yes. Map the following address: e:\ /users/JEDI/dumbass/gmail

 

[jfall]

the whole reason they offer 1gig is because they know very few people will ever use that much

LMFAO @ Minendo!

:beer: for you

 

[cronos]

you're allowed 10 MB attachment (including encoding overhead).

i don't think it's going to be practical to use it as a storage though.

LOL ...

Yeah... the limit / msg is 10 mb

<wet blanket>Even if you could, you probably wouldn't want to. Even if you're on broadband, most people have uploads capped to anywhere from 15-30kb/s...it would take far too long to upload anything useful.</wet blanket>

Hmm I might have to use Gmail to backup my most important docs now...free remote backup!

Who cares if it's slow, better safe than sorry if your house blows up, right?
