[Web4lib] Webmail and the ocean of spam

[Brian Stubbs]

There totally is.  :)  GDrive was one of the first notable Gmail 
extensions.  There are several limitations:
-10MB is the attachment size limit for Gmail, so this is also the size 
limit if any single file you wish to store in Gmail.  Filezip or 
Filecutter utilities can be used to get around this, but slow down your 
usage.
-The file structure is based off of the traditional naming tree, but 
Gdrive is limited to 40 characters for a file name (virtual location). 
This limits how long your file names can be and ultimately how extended 
your filesystem can get.

All in all it's a handy app though, and a very easy to set up virtual 
file storage.  As a bonus, it's protected from curious eyes because you 
have to log in in order to access your GDrive.

Cheers
