Many folks probably remember the proliferation of free online file storage services during the dot com boom – places similar to the still running xdrive. Most of them died off as the funding evaporated, and the ones that didn’t have mostly transitioned to paid services. Some clever folks have figured out how to use your gmail account as free online file storage. This can be extremely handy if you don’t have a thumb drive or some other way to carry files you always need from machine to machine. You’ll need to install the client software to get this running. Note that it’s windows and IE (Ugh!) only.

I have a large thumb drive to deal with this problem but for those of you who don’t this is well worth a look. No doubt some enterprising mac hacker will build a mac analog to this (or already has, if so post in the comments and I’ll link over to it).
