Chapter 16 — Using GmailFS 221
And Now...
And so, the end is near. In this chapter, you’ve looked at how file systems work,
and how Gmail can be used as such. Doing so allows you to host large amounts
of files and applications “out there” on the Internet, with only the tiny GmailFS
application needed to access it. You can, for example, carry the GmailFS applica-
tion around on a so-cheap-it’s-free thumbdrive and then have gigabytes of data
waiting on Gmail accounts. You can even, if you’re feeling very, very, very geeky,
save a browser to a GmailFS drive, and check your Gmail via the browser hosting
on the same account. Ah, it’s all too much for me, and so, with that, we come to
the end.
