I don't know who knows this but I thought it was damn cool thing to have. Basically, it gives you 2 gigs hd space per gmail account you can use as a normal hard drive on your pc, and attaches your file in an email so you can access it from whereever.

I just uploaded a 8mb file which is more than enough for most of my needs. I think it's rocking...plus you can always split huge files into lots of small ones like you get on usenet.

F**king AWESOME mate... LOVING your work!!! I have spare invites btw so if anyone wants one who hasnt got a gmail account already just tell me...

Im archiving my 500mb of photos from the last few years of my digi cam, that way in the WORST case scenario of losing everything in the world, at least ill still have all my pictures backed up!

Why didnt anyone post this before?!

PS For those of you who dont truly appreciate this util and how quality it is - to use an online backup company such as databarracks would normally cost you somewhere in the region of Ł20 a month for only 2GB of storage and my Gmail account has 2.7GB!!! Again, WP Mojo for the quality link!

I'm so glad someone else was as excited about this as I was...It seems like loads of people have heard of it before but not me hence why I decided to share with you all.
