Since the launch of Gmail and the (at the time) unheard of storage space of 2
gigabytes, a number of developers have created tools to allow users to use
their Gmail accounts for file storage. Examples include the
GMail
Drive shell extension, an add-on for the Firefox browser -
Gmail
Space, and even an
equivalent
for Mac OS X. Each of these add-ons/applications allows users to
seamlessly email files to their Gmail accounts, while appearing to the native
OS as another drive. Likewise, there's been a lot of buzz about Google's
launch of
Google
Spreadsheets , and their acquistion and integration of Upstartle and their
online wordprocessor
Writely. In this blogcast we discuss some of these online tools.
