Mount Gmail account as a remote disk drive with free utility Gmail Drive Config. It works with Gmail Drive. Yes, it’s all very experimental, and Google could probably make it all go poof with a few keystrokes from some command line prompt in Mountain View.

Rest assured, you’ll always be able to access any files added via mounted drives through Gmail proper. But I got two accounts set up and working as network storage in just a few minutes.

Here’s how.

Install Gmail Drive, if you haven’t already. Check out our Advanced file and attachment management with Gmail post for details. Your Gmail account will show up as a mounted drive under My Computer in Windows Explorer, categorized as “Other” below any Network Drives.
