Google its just gets better and better! A few years ago a guy name Richard Jones got the idea to hookup his Gmail to his local hard drive to act as a local drive for a drag and drop functionality for uploading files straight to his Gmail account. I started using this tool a year ago and have found it handy for sending huge files to my fellow team mates who may need a PSD, Raw video and RAR files.
You can find the Gmail Drive here.
Basically you must have a Gmail Account. 2nd you simply download and install. Configure it with your Gmail account settings, and Pesto! Sending PDFs, PSDs or storing them in your Gmail for later purposes is easy. Once your file is upload, open your Gmail account either online or with your favorite email client program, then simply FROWARD your file to whoever needs it.
Gmail Drive is a wonderful tool for Windows users, but how about you guys who are MAC fanatics or for people like me who have a Linux box? Firefox has a plugin called Gspace and it acts very similar to Gmail Drive expect you need to have Firefox open to be able to use it.
Gmail Drive and Gspace are two great tools that add to you tech life!
