GmailFS

And you thought that making your Gmail your online storage makes you cool. Meet GmailFS.

GmailFS provides a mountable Linux filesystem which uses your Gmail account as its storage medium.

For a non-techie overview, GmailFS allows you to use your Gmail account as a linux storage (hmm, i wonder how many non-techie people uses linux...). To put it loosely, by using GmailFS, your Gmail account becomes your 1 Gig Drive, completely accessible using your Linux Desktop. You can read more details about the filesystem and a screenshot of it at work on the developer's site. Caption from the site:
The obligatory screenshot shows me reading my Gmail via a Firefox launched from an executable stored on the same Gmail account I'm checking my email on. Très nerdy.

What's next, Linux installation on your gmail account?

    non-techie linux user I am.

    the learning curve it requires makes the struggle more difficult, yet my willingness to learn and go against microsoft is helping.
