NEW! Download Gmail Drive

GMail Drive creates a virtual filesystem on top of your Google Gmail account andenables you to save and retrieve files stored on your Gmail account directly from inside Windows Explorer. GMail Drive literally adds a new drive to your computer under the My Computer folder, where you can create new folders, copy and drag'n'drop files to.Ever since Google started to offerusers a Gmaile-mail account, which includes storage space of 15000 megabytes, you have had plenty of storage space but not a lot to fill it up with. With GMail Drive you caneasily copy files to your Google Mail Account and retrieve them again.

When you create a new file using GMail Drive, it generates an e-mail andposts it to your account. The e-mail appears in your normal Inbox folder,and the file is attached as an e-mail attachment. GMail Drive periodicallychecks your mail account (using the Gmail search function) to see if new fileshave arrived and to rebuild the directory structures.But basically GMail Drive acts as any other hard-drive installed on yourcomputer.

You can copy files to and from the GMail Drive folder simply by usingdrag'n'drop like you're used to with the normal Explorer folders.Because the Gmail files will clutter up your Inbox folder, you may wishto create a filter in Gmail to automatically move the files (prefixedwith the GMAILFS letters in the subject) to your archived mail folder.Please note that GMail Drive is still an experimental tool. There's still anumber of limitations of the file-system (such as total filename size mustbe less than 65 characters). Since the tool hooks up with the free GmailService provided by Google, changes in the Gmail system may break thetool's ability to function. I cannot guarantee that files stored in this manner will be accessible in the future.

7 Dec 2010 update: Google stopped supporting Gmail UI=1, and moved to Gmail 2.0. GMail Drive was unable to save files, soa new version is needed. For older Gmail accounts you may need to disable the Buzz feature in Gmail to be able to see files.12 Jul 2012 update: A new version was released since new users complained that they had problems with login; please install the latest version 1.0.19 and reboot Windows. 24 Jul 2015 update: The latest complete restructure of the Gmail Login web-page finally pulled the plugon the GMail Drive tool. Unfortunately it will not login any more. Your files are still accessible onthe Gmail webpage.

The tool is no longer supported

After a great 10 years of service, this tool is no longer supported.

Let me give you a history recap: GMail Drive was based on the idea of a remote drive tool on Linux by Richard Jones, and immediately made headlines in 2004. It had millions of downloads, included on IT magazine CD-ROM distributions all around the world,even had coverage in a few newspaper articles, such as the New York Times, and was enjoyed by lots and lots of users.Just a few months after its initial release, a secret document from Google was leaked hinting work on a product supposedly called G-drive. It never came to light, stopped by Google's top brass, probablyto their dismay now because Microsoft would scramble to get their SkyDrive (now OneDrive)ready. Today, anyone who wants to be in the Cloud business, needs to have reliable cloud storage solution to offer to their customers.

The GMail Drive tool is dead. But don't despair. Lots of other remote storage options exist now, and many of them are available for a fairly low price. And they won't store your files inside clunky e-mails either.

Hi, I am trying to move an entire folder (with lots of docs, sub-folders and other contents), from the Google Drive of my private Google account, to the Google Drive of my Workspace account. I own both accounts. But since they are not in the same "organization", Google Drive won't let me do it (via the option of sharing the folder with my Workspace email, and then transferring the ownership over the folder to my Workspace email ). You cannot transfer ownership between 2o domains. This is very frustrating, as I need this entire folder in my Workspace drive, and downloading it from one drive, and then uploading it to the other drive will take weeks!! (its a very big folder, with contents I have collected over 12 years!).

Hi, unfortunately, taking over ownership of personal Google accounts' drive data is actually not possible. There is one workaround though: You can set up a Shared Drive on your Workspace account, and then invite your personal Google account as a member of that Drive. Then you can move files from the personal account to the Shared Drive. The final owner will then be the Shared Drive, not a person.

If you still require the gmail.com email address, then you can follow the Shared Drive workaround suggested by @cryptochrome - recreating the gmail.com account's folder structure in a Shared Drive, then moving the files into the corresponding folder.

1. Create an address map (or routing rule) on the Google Workspace domain for a non-existent address (e.g. gmail-migrate@domain.com), pointing to the Google Workspace admin's user account. Wait a few hours for the setting to propagate and test it before proceeding.

5. Sign into the Google Workspace admin's mailbox to find the invitation to transfer to Google Workspace. Right click on the button/link to complete the transfer, copy link, and open it in incognito (you'll be asked to sign into the recently-renamed gmail.com account). Complete the transfer.

Yes, I have created a Shared Drive in my Workspace account, but Google won't let me move an entire folder into it (why Google??). The folder I need to move from my private gmail account to my Workspace account, is huge, with thousands of docs, images and videos, organized in many sub-folders. So that is the challenge...

If you follow the cross-domain file transfer via Shared Drive suggested by @christiannewman, you can use the Transfer Files Ownership add-on for Google Drive or the webapp to recreate your folder structure on the destination shared drive: this operation is free.

My gmail account for mail and tracking is connected to my just email account. But today I wanted to upload a file from Google Drive and it connected to my private Gmail account Google Drive, which is obviously do not need for HubSpot. How can I switch account for this part?

Currently google drive don't have a function/api to change owner to files and transfere the quota from a user to another. So i created a colab script that transfere reccursively the ownership of files whose ownership can be transferred and than dowload from an user and reupload from the other user all the other files. ff782bc1db
