Using your GMail inbox space?

Is there any way to store a开发者_开发百科nd retrieve data in my Google inbox without having to send emails the whole time and clog up my inbox...? (A simple text file is all I would like to have there)

Or is there some other way of storing files in the google cloud (for free)?

Not that this makes much difference but i'm using Java.

Thanks to whoever has a solution.

For programing-related stuff, you could try Google Project Hosting.

Highly likely this is against gmail terms of service. You're likely to get your account deleted if you attempt this.

There were some free/open products years ago that did this ("GDrive" I think was one) and they all were eventually shut down.

Like others said, it might be against google's terms of service. For a good overview of permited interactions with googles services:

A quick search didn't show a way to get to mail attachments.

Google mail supports imap, so you might be able to do it using a java imap client library.

I would use google docs for this though.

I'd listen to Mike and check the ToS. However, there's nothing stopping you from keeping a draft email floating around that contains textual data. I use it to pass notes to myself instead of sending emails.
