Earlier it wouldn't accept zip or other formats. And yes, I know about the storage options. Its a shame Gmail offers just 7GB while Yahoo offers unlimited storage.
Since not only myself, but nearly all email users of any email service don't even come close to 7 GB then I'm quite happy. I've never been able to use more than 3 MB. I also, not just with email, clean house periodically to avoid accumulation. I know that are those who save every scrap of string and likes thereof, but either one possess their possessions or their possessions possess them.
You can use your GMail storage for files with this nice little utility, 7GB won't go to waste.. |MG| GMail Drive 1.0.18 Final Download
I don't like to put all of my eggs into one basket so I use datafilegrid which is the most intuitive and easy to use online storage site IMO.
