Step 1Get firefox

get firefox
If you don't have firefox you should download and install it. Go to http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/ and download the file, then install it.

The extension will also work on the portable version of firefox, take a look at my other instructable if you want to know how to get it. http://www.instructables.com/id/ES5WSDTUODEWZMJEGX/

I've been using GMail Drive since I got my gmail account several years ago :P Similar concept - except it shows up like a hard drive and uploads are drag/drop :) Then, the files show up as an eMail in your inBox (or you can access through the Gmail Drive). If I recall, this is (or at least was) one way to send .exe files out of Gmail.
