Software Update: GMail Drive 1.04

GMail Drive has recently been upgraded to version 1.04. This program allows you to use a Gmail mail account as a virtual folder. In this way it is possible to drag and drop files to and from the directory – and thus your Gmail account. After a file has been dragged into the folder, a new email will appear in your Gmail inbox with the attachment of the file you previously placed in the virtual folder. The new 1.04 version is from here to take down. Unfortunately, the developer has not released a list of bug fixes, but has a list of known bugs:

Known bugs:

• The “Address” pane does not automatically update on Windows 98.
• The context menu for the root item does not appear on Windows 95/98.

Known limitations:

• Desktop is sometimes “blocked” while copying files.
• Filename length (including paths) is limited to 40 characters.
• Google limits the attachment size to 10Mb. This restriction is currently also enforced in the shell extension.
