Gmail is one of the most popular email clients today. Offering more than 7GB of free space to their users, the email client has become the preferred online application by small and large scale businesses worldwide.

But the online application’s capability could even be pushed further with a small application called Gspace. This small application is a Firefox extension (requires updated Firefox browser) and through this tool, you can upload and download data directly to your Gmail account. The application is installed in the browser and could be launched in the tools tab. Gspace is launched in a separate window in the browser. After providing your username and password, you can easily drag and drop the files that you want to your Gmail. The files you want will show up in your email as an attached file. You can also remove files from your email using the same application.

The interface in the browser is very impressive. You’ll be provided with four folders which serve as shortcuts for browser based applications. File Transfer will help you control the files in your Gmail account, Player Mode is for music, Photo Mode for pictures and Gmail Drive if you have multiple Gmail accounts.

Although the application is very impressive, usage of this application should be limited. Google offers Gmail primarily as an email account and not a file transfer protocol or FTP. If you use Gmail too much or transfer more than 1GB of file in one day, your email might be frozen by Google. But this application is very useful if you want to transfer smaller files to your Gmail without accessing your account.
