Techie Fun!
I have NO clue how I missed out on this Firefox extension for so long! You know how you have email addresses piling up everywhere? Maybe that’s just me, but I have six addresses I use every day, but my most neglected was my Gmail account, I just never seem to get on there. Imagine my surprise today when I discovered you could use a Firefox extension called Gmail Space to convert your unused space in a Gmail account into a 2gb file storage location.
It creates an FTP type interface to transfer the files to the usable space. While 2gb may not seem like a lot, but considering I am constantly walking around with a 2gb flash drive, I am all for a virtual one that will allow me to move stuff more easily between work and home.
Here’s the crazy part…I have 99 Gmail invitations left…hmmmmmm.

You can just attach the file to a mail and send it to your gmail account. It achieves the same result. But I like the extension as well.

I’ll be completely honest. I downloaded this right after I read your post and you’re right! It’s cooool!! There was a freeware for window a while back that did this but it wasn’t very good. This one is awesome!

[...] when I talked about a Firefox extension that turns Gmail accounts in to virtual storage drives? Heh. It’ll be like having a 4GB hard drive added to all your computers. (and 6GB later [...]
