I heard a while ago Google deleted accounts that used it. I'm not sure about it, though, nor sure whether they still do. But let this just be a warning to you.
 Don't put anything on there you wouldn't want to loose tomorrow. Haven't tried it myself, though.
Mine works perfectly fine.
It installed flawlessly and worked the first time I tried it. And my account is still there.  ive, ok?..)then i read: QUOTE GmailFS - Gmail Filesystem GmailFS provides a mountable Linux filesystem which uses your Gmail account as its storage medium. GmailFS is a Python application and uses the FUSE userland filesystem infrastructure to help provide the filesystem, and libgmail to communicate with Gmail. GmailFS supports most file operations such as read, write, open, close, stat, symlink, link, unlink, truncate and rename. This means that you can use all your favourite unix command line tools to operate on files stored on Gmail (e.g. cp, ls, mv, rm, ln, grep etc. etc.). jajajajajaajajaja, actually, i tryied to do taht before know abou it.. i'm a webmaster,!GB storage with unlimitted BW.. tahat's a dream!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll now try it out.. i hope it works!!!!!!!!!!!
All g-mail fs does is use g-mails security loops to use g-mail for storage instead of e-mailing
oooooook...
NOW I REALLY FEEL STUPID!!!!! Whle i was posting the messages, i was looking for my answers elsewhere... i foound this: http://www.viksoe.dk/code/gmail.htm It's called "GMail Drive shell extension", and i quote: QUOTE GMail Drive is a Shell Namespace Extension that creates a virtual filesystem around your Google GMail account, allowing you to use GMail as a storage medium. ok, that's all, hope you windows users like me enjoy it too!!!!!
Hmmmm really good idea, but what is the maximun file size that you can upload to the gmail account ??? really i've not idea, maybe somebody here knows ?
Another question others users can dowload this files or only the owner of the account?. like a month a go, i saw files in yahoo briefcase, it's work like a webspace, ok, I saw files inside later when I go to mail.yahoo.com ??????? I was logged into the owner account the same as briefcase user  , maybe with gmail is the same thing ????. Well for now I don't want to lose my gmail account , it was very dificult to get. Greets deivid PS: I've invitations for gmail, if somebody wants send PM.
I don't believe there is a filesize limit, and the only way other users can get to your gmail files is by signing in with your username and password..
What you meant with the yahoo thing is probably that you need to sign into yahoo only once to activate all your features (mail & briefcase & ...), so when you signed in to your briefcase, you were logged in and able to see your mail as well? Either that or I completely misundertood what you attempted to say there. =)
I heard somewhere that there was a file size limit of 300 Mb. I dont feel like waiting around to test that out.
Also they have something for linux that allows you to use this also.

Very good point, and I think google really wants you to use your account to the fullest. They have the money for the space; and they'll get far more market share etc in return. Long live benefits where nobody looses. Just be sure you don't put anything on your google account you want to be absolutely sure nobody sees it.
yes! they will hack your computer, and destroy your harddrive and hunt you down and rape your mother....

I would really reccomend not to mess with Google with third party tools.... who knows...
I have used it, and I have got it working fine, but I'm not sure if you are allowed to. I don't think google would appreciate it. I think I'll ask them.
rapco, i don't want to dissapoint you, but you cannot use the google space as webspace. sure, you could post html files & pictures on it. but php wouldn't work. and besides: all your visitors would need you password & stuff in order to visit it
