The link goes to a tutorial to have your [my.kobo]@gmail automatically send all email attachments to your Google Drive. So, set up your Kobo with spMatti's lovely thingeme, and setup your new google account with Amit Agarwal's script (easy), and you can send emails to your Kobo, just like the handy Kindle option we're all jealous of!
Edit: there's another explanation of how to make gmail put attachments into Google Driver here. The link to the spreadsheet you need doesn't work in this explanation, but it does show you in more detail how to add a label to the relevant emails.

I tried the first method, and, unfortunately, it does not work all the time.
It works the first time, or maybe untill you add any annotations or read any of the documents you uploaded. Then, the Kobo ereader creates two more folders with the same name, and the script gets confused as to where to put the books fetched from the gmail account. Here is the tree view of the file structure inside the virtual sd card (read of another Grive installation on my linux box), for you to understand what I mean:
Code:
dg@bala:~/tmp/GriveKobo$ tree
.
├── Digital Editions
│** ├── Annotations
│** │** └── KoboGrive
│** │** └── book1.epub.annot
│** └── Manifest
│** └── KoboGrive
│** ├── book1.epub.xml
│** ├── book2.rtf
│** └── book3.epub
├── koboExtStorage
│** ├── dict
│** ├── images
│** └── kepub
└── KoboGrive
├── book4.epub
├── book5.epub
├── book6.epub
├── book1.epub
└── book2.rtf
The files are messed up (I changed the names, so they are not ordered right, and I may have restarted the script in the google spreadsheet, so some books may be fetched twice) but you can see THREE directories called "KoboGrive", and you can also see that the script has put books in the wrong directories... It makes for a real mess inside your kobo soon.
