How To Backup Your Computer For FREE With Gmail
Believe it or not, Gmail makes a perfect online backup solution. 3 GB of easy to access, somewhat secure storage.
And you don't have to email files to yourself - there are actually add-ons that will turn your Gmail account into a virtual hard drive!
See all the options below:
Gmail Drive
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. Access it directly through Windows Explorer. (Don't let the name fool you, it's a piece of cake to use.)
Send to Gmail
This program offers one-click backup of any file to your Gmail account.
Gmail Music
Store MP3 files in your Gmail account and play them on your desktop using a web-based interface.
Gmail Multi-User Login

Click here for Gmail Multi-user Login.
Gmail Manager
This is a Firefox extension that allows you to manage multiple Gmail accounts and receive new mail notifications. It displays your account details including unread messages, saved drafts, spam messages, labels with new mail, space used, and new mail snippets.
Gspace
This is a Firefox extension that allows you to use your Gmail Space for file storage. It acts as an online drive, so you can upload files from your hard drive and access them from any computer with an internet connection.
