I recently received a Gmail invitation, I found that this mailbox has 1G capacity, it feels big enough, my 263 charged mailbox is 50m. On the Internet, I found that the current large-capacity mailbox has become a trend, including Yahoo, Sina (Sina 1G mailbox is trap) and other mail service providers are providing large-capacity email services.
I think about a point, it is related to the network hard disk. I used to use the network hard disk service provided by the network service provider, but maybe because of the relationship of service providers, I have not found a few real stable, convenient network hard disk services. The Email system itself is relatively stable, the user group is also very broad, but the previous Email system has rarely supports such a large-capacity mailbox. Maybe we can combine these two points to do something?
The initial idea is simple, which is to use these free big mailbox services to do the function of the network hard disk. Just register a big mailbox, you can separate the big files through the client software, and then send these messages locally when you are sent as a mail attachment (even email content), and then you will make a file merge. The idea is very simple. But after discussing with friends, it is actually difficult to achieve the expected function. The first is the POP3 protocol, the SMTP protocol does not support breakpoints, then when the download file is uploaded, it is likely to have a long time. Second, the message content will increase after Base64 encoding, which is also a big problem affecting efficiency. Finally, even if this thing is achieved, the bottleneck will appear on the email server of the mail service provider, and this is hard to do improvement, then do it behind, this thing is likely to become un practical. And it is impossible to continue to improve, to integrate the Email system with this pain, it is better to get a FTP
Oh, another thought of very beautiful, think about it, but there is no idea of the actual value.
