You can now use your Gmail account as a file server and upload files and such to your account which show up as emails with attachments. With a few invites you can have a very large amount of storage....

Yup. There's also a very nice linux file-system where you can outright mount your gmail account.

Unfortunately, doing anything of this or that sort is strictly forbidden by the licensing contracts agreed to upon signing up for the service.

Too lazy to dig up the exact passages right now, though, but i ran into them with the linux thing.
Also, I can kill you with my brain.

Does this one allow you to use more than one account? The last one I tried would only let you use one account as a drive... so that left 32 or so wasted.

Yes, and they do check for this, and they will close your account if they catch you doing it.

That's why I'm using a second account. Hopefully they won't look up my original :(

Actually this is pretty old news. :p I remember seeing this a few months after I got GMail some many months back.

Just for the linux-mounting one or also the one from the first post?
