All Your Data Are Belong to Us



With the Google Drive just around the corner, and 5 GB (and counting) of storage space available for your google/gmail account, I had a horridly wonderful thought this morning:


"Wait a minute, I have 5 gmail accounts (mostly for failed yet-to-succeed business ventures). That's 25GB (and counting). What if I had 500?"

It would be unweildy without a piece of middleware to manage log-ins, passwords, and bin-packing, but none of these should be terribly difficult to address.


For a goober with 1TB (again, and counting) of DVD-rips, ahem, back-ups, this seems like a great alternative to purchasing and maintaining an array of up-to-date back-up drives at home. (Or weeping inconsolably after losing all your episodes of My So-Called Life).


Nate, this sounds like a job for Greasemonkey, correct?
