Using Gmail as a Drive in Windows

Gmail recently increased their storage space to a massive 4GB. This of course is nothing compared to the current storage capacity of the hard disk drives, but what if you could use Gmail as an online data storage facility? For an online storage facility, it can do wonders.
Most of the companies offering online storage charge some fees for their facility, and Gmail also offers a massive 400 Gigabytes of storage which would cost $500 per year. But most users like me will be happy to use that massive 4GB of online storage facility for free. You can even save your important files and backups on Gmail.

You can use the Gmail Drive Extension (which of course is a freeware) to use Gmail as a drive in Windows and instantly store and retrieve files from your Gmail account like it was a normal drive on your Windows.

I use it to backup important data, not as my main backup location but a secondary one. All files that are stored on the drive are accessible on the Gmail website as well which means it is also possible to store files that you work with on different computers.

How to run multiple Yahoo Messengers at the same time

Just apply this trick if you want to go online with more than one Yahoo Messenger login ID. This one is a registry trick so make sure you don't mess up with the registry database. This trick works with all versions of Yahoo Messenger.

  • Select Start > Run
  • Enter 'regedit' & click OK
  • Goto 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Yahoo\Pager\Test'
  • Create a DWORD registry value named 'Plural' (without quotes) by right clicking on the right half of the Registry Editor window
  • Double click the new DWORD entry and set the value to 1
  • Its done!
Restart your PC. Now you can login with multiple different Yahoo login IDs by running different versions of Yahoo Messenger at the same time.

Sending SMS Through Yahoo Mail Free!!


Follow the below mentioned steps to send Free SMS using Yahoo Mail.1. Login to your Yahoo Mail account (Yahoo Mail beta and not the classic one)2. Click on the New Drop down and select TextMessage.3. Add the number/contact to which you wish to send the message and click on send.




Its FREE but the catch is that you can only send maximum of 5 sms to a contact after which your contact person needs to reply at least once and then your quota of 5 starts all over again. Although, am not sure of the pricing as far as the reply message is concerned.This feature is available only for Yahoo users in India,Canada, US and Philippines.Yahoo mail definitely according to me is going places as compared to Gmail. Lets see who races further ahead in this race of better email service.
