How to Host Your Files on Gmail for Easy Access

Here is a clever way to access your PDF-based ebooks anytime online using Gmail. I've recently found myself reading a lot at work and on various other computers that are not my own. Because of this, I've recently started to use Gmail as a place to store books that I'm reading in PDF format. This way I have access to the books that I'm reading anywhere I have internet access and I don't ever have to remember to bring a memory stick or lug the actual book around.


I'm not sure if this has ever been covered or if there are easier ways to do this but this has been working well for me. All I do is compose a message and attach the PDF of the book that I'm reading, add the name of the book in the subject line and then save that email as a draft with the label 'Books'. Obviously, this can be used with all sorts of files that you may want access to at different computers—Word Documents, PowerPoint presentations, or anything else you could upload.
