- Gmail Drive Extension (for upload)– This tool will virtually setup a drive that can be accessed from my computer and transfer files between computer & gmail account as attachments. We wont be using this utility to download files although its required to be installed to upload our files.
- Gmail php script (for download)- this script sets up a web interface to allow anyone to download the files that we uploaded to our gmail account.
