I like it, even though I've only used some ~20MB of my mailbox. I think Gmail's interface is also much much better than Hotmail's.

TheGunRun, Google won't do anything about you storing stuff on there, but they discourage the use of Gmail for online storage. Also you are limited to 10MB attatchments, and no .exe files are allowed.

Just remove the file extension and you can attach anything (folder options --> uncheck "Hide file extensions for known file types" --> remove it). When you need the file again, just add the file extension back onto it.

Umm...zip it? lmao
Anyway, I think GMail is way better than any other email service. Why? Well, you actually receive all spam (I think), it's just stored in a spam folder (deleted after 30 days of storage). Now, since you can't always tell if something is spam or not, you might get an important email deleted, because it's spam. With GMail, you can just check the spam folder, if you're not getting the email you've been waiting for. Also, the thing about not worrying about your storage size. I've used about 30Mb of my account. I won't ever have to delete an email. That's the whole idea! 
With my old account I was constantly removing mail...it was way too small.

That would be a way to store it and make an online backup, but unless the attachments are public and not just in your account, it would be useless since no one else would be able to access them, unless of course you give them your password to your e-mail and let them login to it.

Didn't realise he wanted to utilize it so that the public could download stuff. My Bad.

Not only could they be counting on people not using their whole disk space, but they can also count on saving disk space when one Gmail person emails a file to another Gmail person. Instead of having 2x that file, they could simply incremement the reference count and reference that file only once, but increase the disk usage for both users.
When you start emailing a movie to twenty people, it would really save some disk space doing it that way.
