and what app would that be? Very curious.
He might be talking a free app called roamdrive.

I haven't try it yet.
Thanks! Just created a new gmail account just for this. I am trying it now. This would be good for freeing up space for some of the non-critical stuff I keep on my USB drive.
edit:
Kind of a strange app. It uploads everything fine from the roamdrive program on the computer, and you can actually see the names of the files you uploaded. It saves the files as email attachments and puts them in the draft folder of gmail. It gives a label of roamdrive also. Now when you actually log into your gmail account, (not using the roamdrive app), the files aren't obvious when you look at the draft folder because roamdrive has renamed the files, (attachments). If you click on each draft, then you can see the original file name near the end.
I renamed the 8 files I test-uploaded so I could see them in the gmail/draft folder, which was no problem. Now when I am logged into the gmail account I can see everything as named.
Now I go to the roam drive app, I cannot see any files within the account because I changed the files names. It still not too bad, hbut unless I rename the files, it will take forever to find a particular file from another computer unless I load the roamdrive app on that computer, (still an option). If anyone knows a better workaround please post it. I might be missing something that is painfully obvious. It has happened before.
