It had to happen eventually, with Gmail’s ever increasing storage capacity it was a matter of time before someone stood up and decided to take advantage of all that extra space!

And G2peer is one of those rare utilities that’s gaming to be a big player in a relatively small market!

In a nutshell,  G2Peers uses Gmail addresses as a file sharing host. Setting up the software to share your files is a breeze. You don’t need to upload your files to any servers either. All you have to do is just click on share, add a new user (email address) and type in a gmail address along with the folder you want to share (from your local harddisk) and that’s it!

In order to download, Of course, you’ll need to know the addresses of valid gmail accounts that are being shared by g2peer. Assuming that you do, downloading is an even simpler task! IF the person downloading has g2peer installed they just need to type in a g2peer gmail address in the address bar, wait for the list to update, and they’re done!

From the list you can choose the files you want and just right click and download. It’s as simple as that.

If you’re really lazy to get the software but you know of a g2peer Gmail address that host files, you can just send an email from your Gmail account to the filehosting email with the following subject lines: ?_list or ?_download.

The ?_list subject line will email back to you a list of all the shared files on g2peer gmail address (along with the size of each file)

While the ?_download will reply back to you with a zip file containing the files you chose to download when you send an email with the ?_download subject line you need to specify the name(s) of the files you want in the email body.

Hopefully G2peer will soon have a strong community of members, if so who knows, maybe Bittorrent might find its first real contender.
