Store Your Files in Gmail with a Right Click
March 27, 2008 – 11:00 pmGmail offers more than 2GB of email spaces for each user account that you created. Furthermore, the amount just keeps increasing day by day - mine currently is at 6GB. I’ve never heard any complain from any Gmail user saying that the spaces offered are not enough. Having said that, let us put this abundance of spaces into something good. With a proper program, you can turn your Gmail into an online storage that works as easy as right clicking on a file that you want to store online.
Backup to Email is a free application that lets you store files to any email account online. I strongly suggest that you use Gmail or Yahoo because both offered more than 1GB of disk spaces. How Backup to Email works is pretty straightforward - you just need to install it and enter your Gmail login name and password. To store a file, right click on a file and choose “Backup to Email” from the context menu.
Once the file uploading process is finished, you can find your file stored inside an email document, as sent by yourselves (”Me!”). If your file size is more than 10MB, Backup to Email will split the file into multiple email documents and you can use the same application to merge them back later, when the need arise.
Additionally, you can also setup more than 1 email accounts in Backup to Email. To choose a specific account to store a file online, use the “Send to:” feature on Windows context menu and choose the appropriate Gmail account. Cool eh?
With Gmail offering unlimited disk file + multiple Gmail accounts that you can create + Backup to Email, the sky is the limit on how big your online storage will be. I am not saying that this is the best solution for backup, but an alternative never hurts, right?
