Errr, it's not for storing data like that. GmailFS actually creates a virtual hard drive on your computer, which uses a gmail account as the storage medium. You use it exactly like a normal windows folder, but it's all stored via gmail.

(There are windows versions out there, not sure where though)

As far as the 1TB of space... that is definetly overselling. Anytime you see "Unlimited" or some insane amount (1 TB) it is because they don't actually expect you to use that much. Most people don't use past 1 gig, never mind a terabyte. I'd be interested to see what would happen if someone signed up for a 1TB account and tried to actually fill it. I'd bet money that the account would get closed.
