Dropbox
Backup, synchronise & share important files

Dropbox works just like any other folder on your computer, but with a few differences.

Here's how it works:
Drag and drop to move files around, just like you normally would
Any files or folders inside Dropbox will get synchronized to Dropbox's servers and any other computer linked to your account.
Green checkmarks will appear on top of your files to let you know that they're synced and up to date.

Your files are always safe. All data is transferred over SSL and encrypted with AES-256 before storage.

Dropbox keeps track of every change made to any of its contents. Any changes are instantly and automatically sent to any other computer linked to your Dropbox. The Dropbox clients for Windows, Mac and Linux all play nice with one another too!

Dropbox is also smart with how it tracks changes to files. Every time you make a change, Dropbox only transfers the piece of the file that changed (also known as block-level or delta sync), making it easy to work with big files like Photoshop or Powerpoint documents.

Access from anywhere
Not at any of your computers and want to grab one of your files? Just hop onto Dropbox's web interface for access to your files from anywhere in the world.

Share your files
Dropbox's shared folders make it easy for you to share a bunch of stuff with other people. This makes Dropbox perfect for team projects, music/video editing, and much more.
Any member of a shared folder can add, edit and delete the contents within.
Collaborators of your shared folder won't have access to any of your files outside of that folder.
Changes made to a shared folder are instantly sent to every member of that folder.

Need to share some files with non-Dropbox users? Just drop files into your Public folder. Any files in here will be given a link that you can send to others in e-mails, IMs, blogs, etc. without requiring people to sign up for Dropbox.

Show your photos
Want to share your pictures with friends and family? Just create a folder within the Photos folder and drop your pictures inside. These folders will be viewable in a gallery on our web interface.

Galleries in your Photos folder also have a unique web address that you can share with others (non-Dropbox users too!) through e-mail, instant messaging, or blogs.

GMail Drive
Creates a virtual filesystem around your Google Mail account

GMail Drive is a Shell Namespace Extension that creates a virtual filesystem around your Google Mail account, allowing you to use Gmail as a storage medium.

GMail Drive creates a virtual filesystem on top of your Google Gmail account and enables you to save and retrieve files stored on your Gmail account directly from inside Windows Explorer. GMail Drive literally adds a new drive to your computer under the My Computer folder, where you can create new folders, copy and drag'n'drop files to.

Ever since Google started to offer users a Gmail e-mail account, which includes storage space of 6000 megabytes, you have had plenty of storage space but not a lot to fill it up with. With GMail Drive you can easily copy files to your Google Mail Account and retrieve them again.
When you create a new file using GMail Drive, it generates an e-mail and posts it to your account. The e-mail appears in your normal Inbox folder, and the file is attached as an e-mail attachment. GMail Drive periodically checks your mail account (using the Gmail search function) to see if new files have arrived and to rebuild the directory structures. But basically GMail Drive acts as any other hard-drive installed on your computer.
You can copy files to and from the GMail Drive folder simply by using drag'n'drop like you're used to with the normal Explorer folders.

Because the Gmail files will clutter up your Inbox folder, you may wish to create a filter in Gmail to automatically move the files (prefixed with the GMAILFS letters in the subject) to your archived mail folder.
