gSpace 0.1, Firefox extension
This extension allows you to use your Gmail Space (2 GB) for file storage. It acts as a remote machine. You can transfer files between your hard drive and gmail. This is similar to "Gmail Drive" on windows platform. Your gmail account looks like a FTP host and you can upload and download your files. After you install, you get an option called "GSpace" in your "tools" menu clicking on which opens the window for transfer of folders/files.

What to do?

* After installation, click on "GSpace" from the "Tools" menu. A new tab will be opened with GSpace window.
* Give your user name and password to login. The remote view will be empty until you login. Once you login into the system, the remote view should say "gs:/" in the textbox.
* If you are logging in for the first time, the remote view will be empty as there are no files uploaded yet.
* So, select a folder or file you wish to add and click the "Upload/Right" arrow. That's all your files are uploaded. Similarly, the files or folder can be downloaded.
* There is a button called "Filter" which filters the files based on the filesize. When enabled, it shows only the files less than 10 MB as the max attachment size is 10 MB in gmail. All other buttons are pretty straightforward. Tooltips on each button show its description.

Features in version 0.1:

* Allows to upload and download files and folders.
* Has a nice look where one can easily transfer files. (requires many additions/enhancements, I will add them in the future releases)
* It is fast compared to "Gmail Drive".
* Every file is sent as an attachment.
* Upload might be a bit slow but download is very fast.
* THIS IS NO WAY AFFILIATED WITH GOOGLE AND INSTALL IT AT YOUR OWN RISK AS IF GOOGLE MAKES ANY CHANGES TO GMAIL, THIS MAY NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. (OFCOURSE, I TRY TO UPDATE MY EXTENSION TO MEET GMAIL CHANGES). SINCE EVERY FILE IS SENT AS AN ATTACHMENT, EVERY FILE CAN BE DOWNLOADED ATLEAST MANUALLY. SO YOUR FILES ARE SAFE IN YOUR GMAIL ACCOUNT.

Limitations in version 0.1:

* Currently, one can upload only files upto 10 MB as Gmail allows a maximum file attachment of 10 MB.
* Cannot upload .exe, .dll, .zip or any other system files that are considered harmful.
* Tested only in Windows machine and Firefox 1.5. Not sure how it works on other machines.
