I am trying to perform a FileCopy of a back up file to my GMail Drive.
Code:
FileCopy "C:\20090314.mdb", "GMail Drive"

GMail Drive is tested manually and is working, but with FileCopy he is not reachable ? How to address my GMail Drive. I replaced my GMail Drive with my gmail address, also no result.
 
Howdy matrixindicator . . .

Use typical syntax for locating files and you can't go wrong.
[blue]DriveLetter:\Path\FileName[/blue]

This should resolve to:
Code:
[blue]FileCopy "C:\20090314.mdb", "Drv:\Path\20090314.mdb"[/blue]
Also, its not the best idea saving backups in root directories! Better to bury them in a folder.

I will give it a try, test it tomorrow.

Some doubt.
1. Gmail is a directory to store data remote. The idea is to upload a file (backup) to gmail servers along a directory (the gmail drive application).
2. GMail has not really a drive letter. Or can we define one ourselves to GMail Drive ?
