GMail Drive shell extension 1.0.13

GMail Drive shell extension description

A Shell Namespace Extension that creates a virtual filesystem around your Google GMail account

GMail Drive is a Shell Namespace Extension that creates a virtual filesystem around your Google GMail account, allowing you to use GMail as a storage medium.

GMail Drive creates a virtual filesystem on top of your Google GMail account and enables 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.GMail Drive shell extension is a tool that creates a virtual filesystem.

Ever since Google started to offer users a GMail e-mail account, which includes storage space of a 1000 megabytes, you have had plenty of storage space but not a lot to fill it up with.

With GMail Drive you can easily copy files to your GMail account and retrieve them again. When you create a new file using GMail Drive, it generates an e-mail and posts 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 periodically checks your mail account (using the GMail search function) to see if new files have arrived and to rebuild the directory structures.

But basically GMail Drive acts as any other hard-drive installed on your computer.
You can copy files to and from the GMail Drive folder simply by using drag'n'drop like you're used to with the normal Explorer folders.

Because the GMail files will clutter up your Inbox folder, you may wish to create a filter in GMail to automatically move the files (prefixed with the GMAILFS letters) to your archived mail folder.

Please note that GMail Drive is still an experimental tool. There's still a number of limitations of the file-system (such as total filename size must be less than 40 characters), and it doesn't make full use of the secure internet protocols available.

You can try Xmail alternative for portability.

Requirements:

· Internet Explorer 5 or better

Microsoft Invites Online Advertising Players to Test Its Ad Playing Field

The ad:tech New York conference was the perfect moment for Microsoft to send out invitations to online advertising industry players to come and test its playing field. The Redmond company is planning to debut the test-driving of a new federated system for online advertising built by AdECN, a wholly owned Microsoft subsidiary. The software giant revealed that the AdECN exchange model would bring a functionality which is not shared by any other online ad exchange system.

“Our goal is to provide a fair and level playing field for all the online advertising industry players to play on,” revealed Jeff Green, co-founder of AdECN. “The federated system simplifies online buying and selling. It will allow ad networks to use their own tools in which they have invested large amounts of time and money, to connect advertisers and publishers across the industry.”

Essentially, the new federated system developed as an extension of the AsECN platform is a replica of the New York Stock Exchange model. The Redmond company is working to deliver what is has defined as a “neutral auction house that automates the buying and selling of online display advertising”.

Via the new exchange model, Microsoft is delivering advanced flexibility in the hands of ad networks. In this regard, the company informed that players in its ad exchange model would be able to use their own proprietary technology, including optimization tools and solutions designed to perform behavioral and demographic targeting.

“Since being acquired by Microsoft, we now have the fuel we needed to build and test our new model,” Green added. “Pricing every ad impression in a neutral auction environment levels the playing field and will help us start to address the pricing issues we’ve seen in display marketing.”

RapidWeaver Web Design App for Mac Reaches V. 4.2

Realmac Software has updated RapidWeaver, its website creation tool and flagship app for Mac OS X. Version 4.2 adds full localization for four additional languages (French, German, Italian and Japanese), while it also tweaks some of the existing features, and fixes a number of bugs as well.

Founded in November 2002, Realmac Software is focused on developing useful, easy-to-use programs for Mac OS X. RapidWeaver, the flagship app of the company, was released in June 2004. According to its makers, it continues to receive excellent reviews to this day.

Realmac's web design application helps users “create professional looking web sites in minutes,” the company says. RapidWeaver allows anyone to publish photos, movies and blogs online instantly, since no knowledge of complex codes is required, according to the developers. However, while you don't need to be aware of how XHTML or CSS work in order to get started with RapidWeaver, code-savvy users do have the ability to place HTML, PHP or CSS codes throughout the application, for even better results.

As noted above, the latest version of RapidWeaver brings a slew of changes and tweaks, some of which we've highlighted below:

- German, French, Italian and Japanese localization added;
- Webpage source list now remembers the previous width;
- Growl no longer displays notifications when RapidWeaver is in the foreground;
- Holding down the Command key, whilst starting RapidWeaver, now disables third-party plugins until the application is restarted;
- Holding down Command and Option, whilst starting RapidWeaver, now disables all third-party add-ons (themes, snippets, plugins) until the application is restarted;
- Images dragged into a styled text view now have Web friendly, unique filenames;
- Saving a document that has missing files is no longer treated as an error;
- Improvements to smart publishing / “Credit RapidWeaver” metadata handling to reduce future uploads.

RapidWeaver 4.2 is a free upgrade for registered users of RapidWeaver 3.6 or higher. One user license goes for US$79, while users of RapidWeaver 3.5, or earlier, can benefit from an upgrade offer that has them pay just $30 in order to get the latest version. A download link for RapidWeaver 4.2 is available below.
