Dude, you got 2.6TB on gmail? Is that like the gmail gold or something

gmail elite.

That's just how gmail is, they seem to be increasing at 1 gig a year (or something like that, i think).. on their 1yr anniversary all accounts became 2 gig, and then each day it increases a little bit more..

i heart gmail.

I should be getting to 2.6TB around year 4600AD. I can't wait!!!

I always worry that free online storage like these will hold my data hostage one day and charge me or go bankrupt suddenly. I would rather use my external harddrive and usb flash drive.

really no offense here. but only an idiot will host sensitive material on a any web servers.

this deal is for people who wants to share their stuffs with others, not for backing up of personal data.

You mean I shouldn't keep my Quicken files out here?

FYI - Just tried uploading 20 (max) files using Firefox 1.07 and they never uploaded. Used IE with 1 file and it worked. Tried 4 files and they worked as well. Tried 10 files and also worked. Anyone else notice issues with Firefox?

I hate toolbars taking up viewing space. Why force us to use a toolbar? Why not just an application like Yahoo or whatever to upload multiples?

not sure with IE6.
but im using IE7 beta now.. which allows u to disable plug-in. and that's wat i did. so the esnips toolbar doesn't start together with IE. and when i want to upload stuffs, just launch it from the Start menu. im sure if you know how to customize your desktop, you should be able to remove anything that is sore-eye to u..... while still able to use whenever u want to

I personally just use a second gMail account for online storage. There is a free app you can download that allows you to drag and drop files from your desktop to your gMail account with no file size limit.

He might be talking a free app called roamdrive.

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.
