Gspace is a Firefox extension that takes the small pile of gigabytes that the Google folks give you for your Gmail account and turns them into a drive with storage and music-playing capabilities.

Accessible via a toolbar button or from the menu bar, the extension opens a new tab with an FTP-style interface. You can transfer files by highlighting them and hitting the directional arrow. Drag and drop is not available, but the plug-in is still replete with goodies. Uploading a file sends an e-mail with it attached to your Gmail. By creating an appropriate filter and folder, it can be quite easy to keep track of the files you've uploaded. Deleting the file from Gspace deletes the e-mail.

Gspace also allows users to switch between different Gmail accounts, has an Inbox button so you can quickly jump back to the standard Gmail interface, and supports different uses of the virtual drive. These include a Music mode, which can be used with a Flash music player to create a Web-based MP3 player, and a Photo mode, which can be used for displaying photos--although it didn't work for us.

Additional features include help buttons and a status bar that tells you which account you're using and the amount of space used. Gspace also can show you files uploaded with GMail Drive, a similar program, although those files aren't accessible from Gspace. Highly recommended.

Pros
There is no good reason to download Gspace.
Cons
Use of this add-on is not allowed by Gmail. Gspace is no longer compatible with latest versions of FireFox.
Summary
CNET should remove this download.
Excellent, does what it says it does.

Pros
Simple to use, speedy upload, sorted.
Cons
None to date.
Summary
Great for storing those files that you want to access as you move around the world, on holiday say and you don't have you own laptop with you. A very handy product.
Not reliable, any questions?

Pros
I liked the concept.
Cons
It doesn't work as described. Files get 'stuck' during upload. Files said to be uploaded aren't there.
Summary
This is NOT a product you want to trust your data security/backups to. It seems to be the work of a hobbyist not a concerned developer.
Really good

Pros
Is this the clause you were trying to cite from the Gmail TOS? Read it closely....It says you can't upload illegal or controversial content, nor can you upload anything that belongs to someone else.
Cons
. So how is using this extension to, say, upload family pics, or some tunes for a web based MP3 player, going to violate those terms? Think BEFORE you speak next time.
