I had been using gDisk in its early days. I worked wonderfully.

However, there was a period when it could not log in to Gmail. I waited for a long period before I tried to use is again.

Over a period of several months and till today, it is not working. I failed to login.

I give 2 stars rating:
- for being this application easy to use;
- a good idea to make good use of Gmail;
- for making it a freeware.

Looses 3 stars to:
- not working for a long period (at least in my case)

thank you :)

Well, that's the end of that!
Since my review a year ago the software did improve a little. However due to changes made by Google (I believe) it can no longer do it's job.

When opening the app it constantly asks if you wish default labels added to your disk...(even if you already have them). Click "Yes" and it crashes. Click "No" and the dialog box stays there permanently... meaning you have to force quit.

That was on Tiger. I've upgraded to 10.5 and it's just the same on Leopard. Shame really, this app had so much potential and promise - just read the posts - but is now just a dead Dodo.
Perhaps someone will reanimate it or create a new GUI that actually works this time.

What to do in the meantime......?

Well, OmniDrive has a Mac client that works and gives you a 1GB account free. Also I've moved over to JungleDisk - not free but very cheap. Both apps show the disk in your finder so it's pretty convenient.

Yes, it looks like Google must have changed the authentication scheme, because it's impossible to log in any more. Too bad. I see the source code is available on the site, but I (probably like the developer) don't have time to study the google API at this point.

Exact same problems as previous poster. I'm using a new MacBook Pro. Worked fine on my old 3 B/W.

So why doesn't this work anymore?

Can't get this app to work AT ALL, even though I use a new iMac duo core and run the latest 10.4.10 OS.

First problem: When I open the program I get a window asking me to donate 12 bucks, but no matter what I click on, I get an error beep. Can't donate. Can't not donate. Can't change the amount. Can't close the window. But I can drag it out of the way...

Behind that window is a window that says I don't have any "labels" in my gDisk, and it wants to know if I want to set some up now. If I click Yes, the program immediately crashes. If I click no, I can then select to create a label manually, by clicking on "New Label." But once I type the name in, and click "Okay," nothing happens. Window won't close, can't Cancel the window, program is totally inert on my desktop. All I can do is Quit it.

There is no Help for gDisk, no place to call, no forum, and utterly NO explanation about how the program works or what its supposed to do--except for that one or two sentence on the download page. All it says is that I can "turn my gmail account into a hard disk" or some such. No mention of how to set it up or how to use it.

It might be fairly intuitive, if it worked. I don't understand how this program gets raving reviews from others but acts like it's from an alien universe on mine.

Any hints? Know of any forum that discusses this?

Thank you.

Keeps asking me again and again to create default labels .. and then after a few times of selecting Yes it crashed

gDisk 0.5 will not launch with Intel iMac

If you run LittleSnitch, you will discover that gDisk wants to make two connections, but doesn't survive to run after being interrupted. Never did get to test it.

Neat idea, for sure.
