The file is uploaded as an e-mail attachment in the Gmail inbox; however, the file is encrypted and compressed, which enables the user to store more files since it is compressed. The file is then saved as an .xmhd file which can be decompressed and re-downloaded through XmailHardDrive.com. Additionally, with the FlingIt feature the user can send the file they just uploaded to a friend that has a Gmail account. Currently the max file upload size is 20MB. Free to use.
