Use Gmail Space as Google Drive

Here I have some great little utilities that you can try to use your Gmail account space as your external hard drive. You will be able to download (or should I say copy) attachments from your Gmail account to your computer just as you would do from a drive on your computer.You can also use this space to upload content direct from your computer and save it online in your Gmail account.

1. GMail Drive

GMail Drive is third party addon for Windows that lets you use your Gmail account space as an extra drive on your computer. It allows a user to access a virtual drive stored in a Gmail e-mail account by causing the contents of the Gmail account to appear as a new network share on the user’s workstation. In order to use this add-on, the user needs a Gmail e-mail account. The add-on enables the user to use the standard Windows desktop file copy and paste commands to transfer files to and from the Gmail account as if it was a drive on the user’s computer.

Download GMail Drive

2. GSpace

GSpace is a firefox extension that turns your 3GB of your Gmail account into free online storage. With Gspace you can manage unlimited Gmail accounts to store all type of files within its simple, user friendly interface. You can also listen your favourite stored music directly from your Gspace, view your collections of pictures and manage your Gdrive files as well.

Download GSpace

3. GmailFS

GmailFS or Gmail File System is a virtual file system developed by Richard Jones which allows users to mount and use their Gmail email account’s storage as a local disk drive. GmailFS is written for Linux, but Windows and Mac OS X ports do exist. Using GmailFS will provide the user with roughly three gigabytes of online storage. The speed of this filesystem is limited by the speed of the user’s Internet connection, and the upload/download speed of the Gmail server. Files can be any size, and are stored as (segmented) attachments.

Download GmailFS

4. G-Share

G-Share is a PHP script that allows you to share your gmail attachments in a webpage, it is a download center with files stored in your Gmail account. You need a MySQL database to store data such as download counters, visitors, etc

P2P file-sharing applications (softwares)
I have always liked P2P file search because they have always given me some fruitful results. Here I am telling you about the best P2P sharing applications that are available for free.

Limewire

LimeWire is a peer-to-peer file sharing client for the Java Platform, which uses the Gnutella network to locate and transfer files. Released under the GNU General Public License, Limewire is free software. It also encourages the user to pay a fee, which will then give the user access to LimeWire Pro. The Pro version allows you to download at very fast speeds, the search results are optimized, and the Pro version has its own unique skin.

Shareaza

Shareaza is a peer-to-peer file sharing client which supports the Gnutella, Gnutella2, EDonkey Network, BitTorrent, FTP and HTTP network protocols and which can handle magnet links, ed2k links, Piolet links, and the now deprecated Gnutella links. It is available in 27 languages. It has loads of features and download speeds are also impressive.

Kazaa

Kazaa Media Desktop is a peer-to-peer file sharing application using the FastTrack protocol. The biggest problem with Kazaa is that if you download it from its official site you will get it along with bundles of virus, trojans and spywares, although the site claims that its free from spywares. In all it doesn't stand a good reputation because its owner sharman Networks have earned a bad name for being helpful in propagating thousands of virus and trojans.

iMesh

iMesh is a file sharing and online social network. It uses a proprietary, centralized, P2P protocol. iMesh is owned by an American company iMesh, Inc. and maintains a development center in Israel. iMesh was the first company to introduce “swarming” - the ability to download one file from multiple sources, increasing download speed.

BearShare

BearShare is a peer-to-peer file sharing application originally created by Free Peers, Inc. for Microsoft Windows and currently sold by MusicLab, LLC. They have given file-sharing a new meaning. you can even see other users’ profiles, photos etc. You can chat with your friends and meet many new people there. And it support hundreds on MP3 players.

Still on the top remains limewire.
