TIPS AND TRICKS

Get Over 4GB of Free Online Storage with Mozilla Firefox

- How to use Gmail accounts for free online storage

By: Catalin Bocanu, Web News Editor

Free online storage services provide you with an
alternative to acquisition of expensive storage hardware. Another advantage of online storage is the possibility of accessing the files using only a computer and a web browser, because the online storage is platform independent. Your important files, such as documents, videos, pictures will be kept safe if possible hardware problems appear in your computer.

There are many free online storage services available on the Internet, but most of them do not offer enough disk space. If you want to have more than 4 GB of free online storage space or a " virtual drive", then an add-on for Firefox and Gmail Accounts could help you in this direction.

Gspace is a free extension or add-on for the popular Firefox web browser, which allows you to transform your Gmail account space into a virtual drive, available online as a storage alternative for your hardware. Your Gmail account will play the role of a FTP host. The Gspace extension allows you to manage file transfer (upload and download) to and from the virtual drive. You can easily share these files with other people or you can access important documents from everywhere.

First you must download and install Firefox web browser, by selecting the distribution package suitable for your operating system. Then you must add the Gspace extension to Firefox using Tools - Add-ons from the Firefox main menu. You will need at least one GMail valid account, which can be created for free. After you have installed Gspace extension, it will appear in the Firefox Tools menu.

When you select Gspace, a new tab will appear, where you must add your Gmail accounts, in order to use the extension. This extension is very easy to use because it looks like a simple FTP client. Among all the advantages provided by this extension, the most important is the safe backup of your data. It seems to be a reliable and useful tool for every webmaster.

Get Over 4GB of Free Online Storage with Mozilla Firefox - USER OPINIONS

Comment #1 by Jas on 2008-06-30, 16:50 GMT reply to this comment 
I hate to badmouth a good product, but google's terms of service prohibit this exact thing. Using a Gmail account as only an online storage option is against their terms of service, not to mention that they regularly monitor these types of programs and block them to prevent people from abusing the service. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but there's no such thing as a free lunch. :-(
