Yeah... back in the day, someone made a virtual file system layer that could span 1 or more Gmail accounts, basically using it as a block storage thing. IIRC (it's been a while) there was also some built-in redundancy, like the same file would be stored redundantly across multiple Gmail accounts in case one got deleted. Kinda like an early cloud RAID. That was before even CAPTCHAs were common, I think, and so getting new Gmail accounts was very easy. Eventually Google revised their ToS and clamped down, of course. I'll see if I can track down some historical links, but it was a long time ago... Edit: one of them was called GmailFS: https://handwiki.org/wiki/GmailFS https://handwiki.org/wiki/GmailFS Old slashdot (remember that?) post from 2004: https://linux.slashdot.org/story/04/08/29/0237213/gmailfs---the-google-file-system https://linux.slashdot.org/story/04/08/29/0237213/gmailfs---...
