Let me know if you haven't already received a gmail invite, if not I will
send you one. That also goes for anyone else on alt.comp.freeware. Just
make sure that you mask your email address like above to keep from getting
spammed.

No more Gmail invitations. You can only get an account if you have a
cell phone.

Besides, what does this have to do with freeware?

It looks like Mr. Corliss got another one wrong.

Whoops, you're right. I was basing my statement on this link:

http://www.realtechnews.com/

which I took to mean that invitations no longer work. I guess they do
though:

"If you want to open an account a different way, you may want to ask a
friend with a mobile phone to receive an invitation code for you or to
ask someone you know who already has a Gmail account to email you an
invitation."

I still don't see what this has to do with freeware though.

Agree with you 100% on that. I also don't see what the advantage to
Gmail is in the first place.

It seems topical for our group.

To get their "google talk" freeware, you need a gmail account. Explained

Then I guess that anything which is free is freeware by that analogy.

Wrong.

For what it is worth, you can get an Google account at this webpage
but you do not get the gmail account. Google kicks you off to a page
that tells you that your new account is invalid for gmail and that
simply by creating a Google account does not get you a gmail account.
They reiterate that you need an invitation.

So, if anyone has an invitation available, I would like one if you
please.

Thanks,

Poor logic there. A free pair of shoes would be off-topic. But since
gmail is software that is free, and this is a discussion group for
free software, well there you go.

I don't agree with it, but we all have to live with things we don't
agree with.

One might use Free Software to access GMail, but GMail is not Free
Software.

GMail Drive shell extension

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.

GMail Drive creates a virtual filesystem on top of your Google GMail
account and enables you to save and retrieve files stored on your GMail
account directly from inside Windows Explorer. GMail Drive literally
adds a new drive to your computer under the My Computer folder, where
you can create new folders, copy and drag'n'drop files to.

Ever since Google started to offer users a GMail e-mail account, which
includes storage space of a 1000 megabytes, you have had plenty of
storage space but not a lot to fill it up with. With GMail Drive you can
easily copy files to your GMail account and retrieve them again. When
you create a new file using GMail Drive, it generates an e-mail and
posts it to your account. The e-mail appears in your normal Inbox
folder, and the file is attached as an e-mail attachment. GMail Drive
periodically checks your mail account (using the GMail search function)
to see if new files have arrived and to rebuild the directory
structures. But basically GMail Drive acts as any other hard-drive
installed on your computer. You can copy files to and from the GMail
Drive folder simply by using drag'n'drop like you're used to with the
normal Explorer folders.

Because the GMail files will clutter up your Inbox folder, you may wish
to create a filter in GMail to automatically move the files (prefixed
with the GMAILFS letters in the subject) to your archived mail folder.

Please note that GMail Drive is still an experimental tool. There's
still a number of limitations of the file-system (such as total filename
size must be less than 40 characters). Since the tool hooks up with the
free GMail Service provided by Google, changes in the GMail system may
break the tools ability to function. I cannot guarantee that files
stored in this manner will be accessible in the future.

15 Aug update: A glitch in my HTML filter code caused the filelist to
appear empty. Version 1.0.7 will resolve the problem. Please uninstall
(from the Windows Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs), then reboot and
install the new version.
