GDrive already exists

Rumors about GDrive from Google are arising. But let me say why I think you can find all you need from GDrive in our Olipo GDrive based on GMail plugin:

- All the files you dropped in your "Gdrive" folder in your USB drive (or local folder if you don't use any USB drive) are automatically replicated to your Gmail account and labelized with the "gdrive" label.
- The generated emails with attached files are not highlighted in your Inbox and do not annoy you when you use your Gmail account.
- It works also with big files because they are automatically splitted into small parts by Olipo engine.
- To share a file, it's very simple: drop it into your Gdrive folder, as soon as the little red arrow disappears, the file appears in your Gmail account in an email as an attached file. Then you can simply forward the email to friends and they will receive the attached file. You do not have to manually attach the file.
- When you receive an email with an attached file, you can manually labelize it with the "gdrive" label and it will be automatically imported to your USB drive. If you accidentally delete it from your USB drive, it will be imported back.

I have to say it's really great implemented. But why is there the restriction to usb drives?

This shouldn't be so I assume?

Maybe you could give me your mail addy to communicate better.

The restriction to USB drive comes from our vision: having all my files with me, in my pocket.
But you CAN launch Olipo from wherever you want (not only from a USB drive) and it will eventually work.

With your screenshot, I'm analysing why the subject is not recognized well in Gmail. I think it can be a too much long subject.

That's it! Gmrlbmlbml, I use a library that cuts the too long characters strings. I'm changing that.

Done and updated. Your version should be automatically updated at next launch (invisible and relaunch required afterwards) but if you want you can manually download it here:

Think about deleting all your "strange" emails like in your screenshot...
