GMail Drive is a Shell Namespace Extension that creates a virtual drive in the Windows Explorer, allowing you to use your Google Mail account as a storage medium.
It allows you to do basic file manipulation, such as copy and delete of files inside the Google Mail account. Because it is a Shell Extension, the interface you work in is Windows Explorer itself.
GMail Drive appears as a virtual drive under your My Computer folder in Windows Explorer.
You can:
1. Navigate between files and folders using the familiar Explorer folder view.
2. Do basic file manipulations, such as create folders and delete files.
3. Use copy and paste as you would normally do in Explorer to copy files around.
4. Use drag’n’drop to quickly move files between folders.
5. Show information about volumes and files using the Properties dialogs.
