    If they can find the accounts. The usage of the service would not indicate anything unusual if it is done right, and even then you can implement parity or redundancy for data integrity.

  2. Been there done that on Building a Massive Single Volume Storage Solution? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I wrote a web application and a client in C# that uses gmail accounts as a sort of file system. using a set of email accounts as "index" accounts that use the gmail search functionality to find what you are looking for then pulling the attachment on the index to grab the parts of the file that where spread accross multiple gmail accounts in 500K chunks. it works really well. I did it for fun to see if I could. uses smtp to post the file chunks to a given set of accounts and users can donate accounts to the hive at will, increasing the overall storage size. all hosted maintained and index by gmal or any other free mail service as one big file system.
