GmailFS - Gmail Filesystem
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.).
The project uses libgmail <a rel="nofollow" href="http://libgmail.sourceforge.net/">http://libgmail.sourceforge.net/</a>, which looks pretty
cool itself. You can setup proxies for gmail to mail it act like SMTP, POP,
or ftp. This might be a really cool way to setup a file sharing system. Of
course, it uses a centraal server so it might be easy to shut it down.
