GmailFS - using Gmail as a filesystemGmailFS - using Gmail as a filesystemPosted Aug 31, 2004 3:50 UTC (Tue) by Tashlan (guest, #17277)In reply to: GmailFS - using Gmail as a filesystem by Tashlan Parent article: GmailFS - using Gmail as a filesystem
I meant to say that with all the fuss over Gmail's scanning of content that using Gmail to pass or store encrypted information WOULD be ironic. Not that GmailFS supports encryption, which it does not. (at this time)

layering filesystems Posted Aug 31, 2004 11:37 UTC (Tue) by vgough (guest, #2781) [Link] It isn't necessary for GmailFS to support encryption. One of the things that makes Unix so powerful is being able to layer one set of functionality on top of another. For example, you could use EncFS (freshmeat.net/projects/encfs) to provide an encrypted filesystem on top of another filesystem (including a GmailFS based filesystem).
