GMailFS - Mount your GMail account in Linux - Club CDFreaks

**Dee-ehn** · 29-08-2004

Some wizkid developed a Python program that allows GMail to be mounted on a Linux system, just as if it were a local file system.

Quote:

GmailFS provides a mountable Linux filesystem which uses your Gmail account as its storage medium. GmailFS is a Python application and uses the FUSE userland filesystem infrastructure to help provide the filesystem, and libgmail to communicate with Gmail.

GmailFS supports most file operations such as read, write, open, close, stat, symlink, link, unlink, truncate and rename. This means that you can use all your favourite unix command line tools to operate on files stored on Gmail (e.g. cp, ls, mv, rm, ln, grep etc. etc.).

/me wants one for Windows XP as well. Finally i can put my 3 gmail accounts to a good use (and if i abuse my 18 invitations , i could have a m@d l33t storage server !). I've created two gmail-bot accounts should someone ever port this cool feature to Windows
