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

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.

File recovery is a software that helps you regain lost data by restoring files that were deleted by you from your drives. It can recover accidentally deleted files from various storage media like floppy, USB flash drive, Data Cards etc and supports all windows compatible file systems like FAT12, FAT16, FAT32, NTFS, NTFS5 etc.
Imagine if you delete a set of files from your disk drive deeming them unnecessary only to realize at a later stage that they did have some significant worth. And since there is no “Undo” possible after emptying your recycle bin, you might have some seriously contrite moments following. This is exactly when a tool like File recovery can come handy and save you some repentance.
File recovery when tested by me provided a long list of files that I did not know when and how had been deleted from my system along with those that I had deleted deliberately to test it. So there is no doubt that the software is reliable and efficient under normal conditions. However do not expect it restore files that have been deleted using a secure file deletion tool.
More over, I think they need to improve on the interface. It’s just that the interface made them lose some of the points but overall it’s a nice and useful software.
Bottom Line
No reasons to say no to it!
