Well, you've probably heard and used GMailFS on your Linux operating system. What GmailFS Does is to mount your Gmail account as a Linux filesystem (basically you can use it as you use any other of your /home/username directory and even better, you can run 'df' commands on it, etc...). GMailFS can be found here.
But what happens if you do not run Linux and don't even *care* about using exactly like my mom or dad wouldn't? Well, for a while there hasn't been a solution for windows users till recently. I've restarted searching on that today and I finally found a *GmailFS* for Windows called the "Gmail Drive Shell Extension". I used it and boy, it's really sleek and works like a charm. You can find more info and downlaod it here. Although it works on the same principle of sending emails to yourself like I bet most of us do for backing up importnat documents and other files, the hassle of *approprietly emailing* is being eliminated.
A few screenshots made while I was trying it out can be found HERE.
