2. To access from any other computer, the drive should be already there or you need to download as described in the step 2.

Some bigger Precautions or a CAVEAT & a word of Caution !!!!:

1. Gmail Drive is a Third party 'add on' for Microsoft windows & not provided by google....
2. Restrictions on the Gmail service are also enforced when using GMail Drive. For example, files larger than 20 MB cannot be uploaded, as the maximum file size of Gmail attachments is 20 MB
3. Gmail also prevented users from transferring certain file types, such as an executable or ZIP archive. Some users bypassed this restriction by renaming the file extension or by putting it into a RAR or 7zip archive.
4. Again GMail Drive is an experimental package that depends on but is not provided by Google.
5. Changes in Google's Gmail system may render GMail Drive temporarily or permanently inoperable.
6. The Gmail Program Policies do not explicitly ban or permit GMail Drive, shell namespace extensions, or the use of Gmail storage space for files other than e-mail.
7. Nonetheless, use of GMail Drive may trigger Google to temporarily suspend a Gmail account.

Thus all in all this is a good forward looking technology !!! Hope it use picks up !
