Private photosharing has been launched for Firefox through the new GPhotospace Add-on for Firefox. The Firefox extension allows Gmail users to store and share photos within their standard Gmail e-mail storage account. Users select their photos, upload them to their Gmail storage, select their recipients and send album viewing invitations via e-mail. For security, users' Gmail credentials are used to log-in, but these credentials are not sent or stored on any servers other than Gmail's servers, using an encrypted https connection.

The software is free, works on Mac OS X and requires Firefox. It can utilize up to 7GB of storage (the amount that is provided by Google for a free email account.
