GMail Drive - ++good
GMail Drive is a Shell Namespace Extension that creates a virtual filesystem around your Google Gmail account, allowing you to use Gmail as a storage medium.

And I hardily recommend it. I’d actually used it heavily when it was first introduced, then I lost my previous laptop and the link to GMail Drive. I just stumbled on the link today (thanks to Digg), and I’m going to do the reinstall shortly. Definitely a solid piece of software.

Hi Mac,
Long time reader first time comment-er:
I’d be down to use GDrive, as long as they don’t index my files and serve me relevant ads when I view them.

Nope, GDrive itself doesn’t index, tag, or otherwise view your files. It basically acts as a transport medium between your hard drive and Gmail. Once in Gmail, your files are treated like attachments (which I don’t think Google can see).
GDrive is third-party software, too. Think of it as a go-between that lets you extend your desktop into Gmail. Gmail really can’t see what you’ve put there because it’s an attachment to a file, just like all that other sensitive stuff you’re sending.
