This can be useful for having files accessible from different pcs or to just keep some backups. Remember that Gmail offers around 7GB of storage whcih can be quite useful. Of course you can also create several Gmail accounts and so have more than 7GB of storage in total.

This will create a Gmail Drive along with the other drives found under ‘My Computer’
Click on ‘Gmail Drive’ in my computer
Log in with your Gmail account credentials
