Use Gmail to save photographs online


Google has recently raised the attachment limit of emails that can be send and received via their email service Gmail to 25 Megabytes. The storage that is offered to all Gmail users exceed
7000 Megabytes which makes Gmail an ideal service for a variety of
applications.
We have already seen that it is possible to use Gmail as a backup
storage space for important files. The GPhotospace application adds
another possibility. It makes it possible to create virtual photo
albums in Gmail that can be shared with users. Sharing in this context
means that the photo albums can be send to individual users which means
they are send as an attachment. GPhotospace is provided as a Firefox
add-on which offers another functionality. Users who are invited can
use the GPhotospace add-on to view the galleries online as well.



Users who do not like to share their Gmail account data with another
application might want to consider creating a secondary account just
for that purpose. The application can be launched from the Tools menu
in Firefox once the add-on has been installed. There is also a
standalone desktop application for Windows that does not require the
Firefox web browser.


The GPhotospace add-on offers a fool proof way of uploading photos to Gmail with the
ability to invite other users to see them. It can also be used as photo
backup storage although it might make more sense in this case to send
the photos as attachments directly to the Google Mail account.
