i recently got the gmail hard drive thingy that lets you store upto a gb on your gmail account as if it was a hard drive. no i know this is probably impossible to do but could you somehow combine the space from all your gmail accounts (i have 51 and counting) into one massive hard drive. for all the ppl who dont know what i am talking about i just thought you should know that this hard drive does not execute files just stores them.

Jump to PostI thought gmail only gives you a gig to store your e-mails? You don't have FTP access or anything like that, right?
Jump to PostNo Dani. this refers to a shell extension which allows you to use a GMail account as a 1Gb drive.

Jump to PostI've always wondered what the point of this Gmail hard drive shell extension was. I can see where it would be handy to have remote file storage, but heck, there are all kinds of ways of getting that now, and like Catweazle said, hard drives are so cheap...
