    If you ever need more hard drive disk space just create a bunch of gmail accounts. Then download Gmail Drive from the link here:

    GMail Drive is a Shell Namespace Extension that creates a virtual drive in the Windows Explorer, allowing you to use your Google Gmail account as a storage medium.

    It allows you to do basic file manipulation, such as copy and delete, on files inside the GMail folder. Because it is a Shell Extension, the interface you work in is Windows Explorer itself.

    GMail files are physically stored as e-mails on your Google Gmail account. The files are stored in mail attachments, and the filename and file information (such as filesize) is stored in the message subject line.

    GMail Drive has already been installed on your computer. All you need to do now, is to browse to the GMail Drive entry under your My Computer folder in the Windows Explorer. (right click on My Computer and click on explore)

    [​IMG]

    After you finished installing this, sign in with your username and password. If you wish to get a gmail account, then go to www.gmail.com and log in with ur gmail id!

    This becomes like an external drive just drag and drop in the files u like in the GMail Drive..

    Now the amazing thing is that when u drag the any files in the GMail Drive it will show in your email from your e-mail. So it save lot of time to as it is simple drag and drop...

    Every Gmail account has a 2GB storage limit. If you have 1 gmail account you can make 50 more. Just do the math, 2x50 = 100GB of storage space.

    as asked i attached the screenshot

    Now you dont need a new hard drive


    Rep me if u like my post :)

    Yeap whats the use of installing and hacking to make it a hard disk and be banned? Normally we use an online hard disk for extra security. Would rather go with a free backup file hosting provider instead.

    I totally agree, just use Gmail for what it is meant to be used for.

    oh. in that case i suggest you not even "try" to use this "loophole". you might land up in a bigger problem. hackers often do! I think most of us will agree ;) .

    lol, I agree it would be more convinient to just buy a external hard drive but it would not hurt if you store some of your documents or make a backup on G. i do it all the time by sending an email to myself

    I didn't realize that there is a 2GB storage limit for G Mail, that's quite a bit of storage space.

    So what about this firefox extension?
    GSpace
    This also let us to use the space provided by Gmail?
    Is it also hacking the Big-G?
    I am using it for 4-5 months without any problem.

    His was cascading from many Gmail accounts to form a drive as oppose to Gspace which is only using your single account.

    You can also use Windows Live SkyDrive (5 GB) which is just for storage. So that will be legal. But who have that kind of bandwith to intensively use an online storage? Hard-disks are cheap instead, and fast.

    Just make sure that you use gmail on your own domain name, if they cancel your account, you will at least still be able to receive emails to the same email addy.
