With GMail well over the 2000 MB storage limit I found myself wondering what I would possibly need that much e-mail storage for. Admittedly I get a lot less (non-spam) e-mail then some people, but I am sure that I get more than others as well. But still, 2 Gig of email storage? I can not imagine myself having that much e-mail. So that brings me back to my original query, what can I do with all this [e-mail] space?

In a previous post I had mentioned using the account as a virtual drive and running Linux on it. I had thought about doing this myself, but considering I am already running Gentoo, I really have no need for another Linux box. However, I can always use more file storage space, especially one I can access anywhere.

With that in mind you can imagine how happy I was when I stumbled upon Gmail Hard Drive.com. This is a free site that allows you to log into your Gmail account and upload files to it and utilize the account as a 2+ Gig file storage. Though this is in not any where near as geek as running Linux, I think it is more practical.
