Here’s another great moment for Open Source: take Gmail, add an easy application that allows you to up and download files to your account, and you suddenly have over two gigs of online storage. For Mac OS X users, that’s exactly what gDisk does in a reliable, small, free application that I’ve been using for some time to share files between my computers.

And it really is easy. Open the application, log in to your gMail account, create categories for the files that you will transfer, and drag-and-drop files to your little heart’s content. The categories that I’ve created are things like Invoices, Work Files, and 9/11 Tribute. Wherever I am and whatever computer I’m using, as long as I have an Internet connection, I have access to important files.

Very freakin’ cool.
