Use your gmail account for virtual drive with GMail Drive shell extension

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.
Just testing it now sets a virtual drive in My computer
Edit you must have a gmail account.
It works brilliantly.

This tool used to be in breach of GMail's T&C. Is it still the case?0

No idea you could be right. Still its okay for backup you can always start as I did with more than on gmail account (by inviting yourself) if it goes tits up, then you still got another account, you may have the account closed I cant conform this or not but its okay for a temporary free storage.

I think each file is limited to 10mb in size.... Just means you might have to 'split' some larger files.....
