With 1GB free storage, why not put it to good use!

GmailFS provides a mountable Linux filesystem which uses your Gmail
account as its storage medium. GmailFS is a Python application and
uses the FUSE userland filesystem infrastructure to help provide the
filesystem, and libgmail to communicate with Gmail.

GmailFS supports most file operations such as read, write, open,
close, stat, symlink, link, unlink, truncate and rename. This means
that you can use all your favourite unix command line tools to operate
on files stored on Gmail (e.g. cp, ls, mv, rm, ln, grep etc. etc.).
