GMail to increase attachments to 20MB from 10MB&so what?

On one of our earlier posts, we considered the possibility of using GMail as a storage platform using libgmail. One of the issues is of course attachment size (besides possible TOS issues). Increasing the attachment size to 20MB does not actually help us substantially because we would still face the possibility of chunking items > 20MB. Most music items are less than 10MB to begin with and most movies/tv shows/music videos are greater than 20MB so status quo still rules the day.

So what’s the point of this post? A reminder that we still want to incorporate GMail as one of our storage clouds. Let us know if anyone is interested in helping us code this feature.
