Getgspace is definitely one of the coolest things I’ve seen. It can turn your Gmail account into online storage tool stuffed with handy features. It’s in a way similar to previously reviewed Gmail Drive but way more powerful. So let’s look into it
At the moment Gspace works only with firefox, so you gotta have Firefox (review) before you can try it. When it comes to operating system things look good pretty good as there are versions for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X.
How does it work?
Gspace can be downloaded from here. Once installed, open your firefox browser and go to: ‘Tools > Gspace’. Gspace interface has 4 key areas: My Computer (files on your PC), My Gspace (files stored on Gmail), Transfers (transferring, completed, cancelled, files in queue, …) and Status (logged in, logged out, file details etc.).
Before anything else you’ll need to enter your Gmail details through ‘Manage Accounts’ option. Once that is done you should be able to login and start using it. In case you experience any kind of problems check out Gspace faq section.
Gspace has four different operational modes:
- File Transfer Mode: download/upload
- Player Mode: listen to your stored music files using gspace’s built-in media player
- Photo Mode: view and browse through pictures and albums stored on gspace
- Gmail Drive: manage Gdrive files
Overall it’s quite useful application so if you need couple GBs of reliable storage space then definitely check it out.
