5 steps to Do It Yourself Google Drive (G-Drive)

By thinkezy

You have wasted enough time to see Google coming out with G-Drive; without any luck. Why wait when you can tweak another awesome Google tool to have seemingly unlimited storage?

Following is a working, no nonsense configuration that builds a neat G-Drive within gmail.

1.
Go to gmail. If you don’t have an account, Google is kind enough to dole out a new account for you. This account offers you a staggering 6+ GB of fast storage. By fast I mean fast everywhere in the world. With XDrive or Microsoft Live Drive or some such US centric hosts, you will find a great speed in US but just about average speed outside of US.

After logging in your account use gmail menu to go the Labels

2.
Go to Edit labels and add a new G-Drive label.

You have an online 6+ GB drive from the Google stable. Further more, you can write an entire mail to describe the attached file contents, so easy for you to remember!
