I'm pretty sure there is a Windows Explorer add-in that makes your GMail account in effect a "web drive". Could this be that?

A number of companies have shut down web drive projects in the recent past such as AOL's Xdrive.

I guess I'd be surprised with Google's move to "focus" their efforts if they released something like this.

My guess is they'll dump it and delete everyone's data as soon as the share price tanks.

Google is apparently not so rich and powerful that they can't shut down an (!) online notepad.

They only shut down new registrations. As they stated, they will continue to allow previous users to use the service "indefinitely".

Would be nice to sync mp3 with Android. I'm amazed no one already took the effort in doing so
