Hello all..

I recently installed Gmail Drive, and discovered that as an
Explorer shell extension it requires that Explorer has access to
the internet. When I set my firewall (outpost free) to ask
before allowing it reported attempts to access sites from
withing the google space, as well as others.

How can I allow Gmail Drive to do its thing without allowing
other events such as access to unkown sites ? And without
giving Explorer access to the net.

TIA..
