Gmail Drive by Th3rmal on 10-19-2007 at 07:39 AM
I just got gmail drive and i was wondering can this be used as a p2p file sharing kinda thing? like if i install gmail drive on 2 computers then log into an account on computer one, store a file in it, and then log into the same acc on the other computer will i be able to see that file?

It's probably better than the MSN file transfer alternative

Remote desktop connection's speed is decent

but doesn't remote desktop require both computers to be on at the same time? i dont think gmail drive does i think u just log in anywhere from any computer and you can retrieve the files

You could always burn some DVDs or use a USB as well....

Yeah you can do it, however eventually the account would likely get banned by G-Mail.
Use something like bzip2 and mega-upload, or something. Faster transfer rates.

thats why i created an account on gmail that i dont use so i can just use it for gmail drive seeming as you can just sign up for an account without an invitation
