    GmailFS


    GmailFS provides a mountable Linux filesystem which uses your Gmail account as its storage medium. GmailFS is a Python application and uses the FUSE userland filesystem infrastructure to help provide the filesystem, and libgmail to communicate with Gmail.

    GmailFS supports most file operations such as read, write, open, close, stat, symlink, link, unlink, truncate and rename. This means that you can use all your favourite unix command line tools to operate on files stored on Gmail (e.g. cp, ls, mv, rm, ln, grep etc. etc.).

    A friend at work is experimenting on ways to mount that as an NFS volume in WinXP linked to his GMail account.

    I think this is from Gmail. Google is trying to create a computer with thier OS that would access their GMail for storage space online. Sounds like a beta for their system. (By the way works really well, but my .exe from a program will not load.)
