“Over 4704.417667 megabytes (and counting)” – This is what was written on the Gmail sign in page when I copied it. Right now, the figure must be larger.
Q1. How many of us can ever fill that much of space with just mails? (Except of course, some of the spam magnets!)
Q2. How often have you felt the need to have an online storage that could store some of those important documents that you might need to access anytime anywhere even when your sweet laptop is not around?
GSpace is the answer to both the questions posed above. Its a Firefox plugin which helps you access your Gmail space just like a hard drive and enables you to store just about any type of file that can be accommodated in those 4+ GBs. Thus you’ll neither miss your important files nor your favorite music.
Here’s a look at some of its pros and cons
Pros of GSpace :
1. Ease of use
A simplistic interface makes the usage extremely simple for everyone. Also, your own Gmail space is always a reliable online storage space. No need to register anywhere or perform any settings. Simply log in and lo!
2. Directory Creation

There has been quite a few word about the New version of Gmail already as the lucky ones got it faster than me. Anyway, they all have spoken about its enhancement of the way it fetches the email messages and the new contact manager.
However, one more thing which is noticeable is that with this new version of Gmail it doesn’t make Firefox a memory hog! There were many posts and my own personal experience is that whenever Gmail use to check for new messages, Firefox’s memory consumption used to shoot up a lot and that made it work slow.
Apart from that, the unfortunate thing is that the Better Gmail extension doesn’t work anymore with this new version of Gmail and it won’t work until and unless all the Greasemonkey scripts used by Gmail gets updated to work with this new version. Although, Mihai has updated the Macros for new Gmail version and I’m sure most of the people will be happy to work with this updated script!

Bored of the banality of your Windows Explorer? Well, I guess I have found something for you. While ferreting out for some new softwares I found this rather interesting and impressive substitute for the windows explorer.
Free Commander is a free and light weight file explorer/manager which contains lots of functions which make it more preferable over the basic Windows Explorer. It has a decent interface full of icons and it really does make navigation within your system a less tiresome affair.
Features
1. Dual Panel with Tabs
This is what makes it highly desirable. No matter how well you cascade or arrange or windows, hopping between them is always a headache. With its Dual Panel interface Free Commander makes file transfers by dragging and dropping a lot easier. Both the panels can be used independently and can be arranged vertically or horizontally. Both panels have tabs on top which represent the different drives and the network places on your system and work independent of other tabs. Thus switching between drives becomes a touch easier. In case you don’t want two panels, you can convert one of the panels to tree view and work in the other one. As for the tabs, you can create sub-tabs for your folders too.
2. Built in Compression tool
The versatile software is accompanied by a built in compression tool which helps you pack and unpack files. This however has its limitations. While you can read or unpack from almost all common package types, packing is possible only into a zip file or a cab file.
3. File splitter
To handle large files, the software offers you a file splitter which can break a file into several smaller fragments of desired size.
