PhpGmailDrive
PhpGmailDrive, also known as PGD, is an open source software program written in PHP to share Gmail file attachments on the web. PGD is based on GmailFS, a Gmail attachment file system that uses email subjects for organization.
Details
PhpGmailDrive is an online file sharing utility. Unlike online storage sites like Xdrive, it uses Gmail as a file hosting service. To install it, the user must copy a PHP script to a PHP-enabled web server and configure it with a specific Gmail account and password. Gmail offers more than 5 GB space, all of which can be used for file hosting. Once installed, PGD automatically connects to the Gmail server, fetches a list of attached files and arranges them in a tree view. PGD follows the GmailFS standard, so it can handle Gmail attachments uploaded by any GmailFS client. It uses the library libGmailer for its Gmail server connectivity.
Features
- Displays attachments in a tree view.
- It is fully compatible with GmailFS.
- It supports multiple Gmail accounts in the same instance of the program.
- It is supported by all major browsers, including Mozilla Firefox, Opera Browser and Internet Explorer.
- The total size of the script is around 100 KB.
Disclaimer
PGD is dependent on Google's Gmail service. Thus, if Google's Gmail API is ever changed, functionality May Be decreased or nullified, although the program will probably change to accommodate Google's changes.
Use of PGD may be a violation of Gmail's TOS.
