Life Hacking: Free “Unlimited” Google Docs Storage

I have seen a lot of articles recently demonstrating some of the cool things you can do with your files once you have saved them to Google Docs. Yet all of them throw in the caveat of limited storage.
Example Articles:
Play Music from Online Storage
Stream Video Files From Google Docs
Google Docs Stream to Android
Google Music Beta
From my understanding and experience when another google account shares a file with you it does not count against your storage space, yet you still have access to it. So if you want extra storage space for your Google Docs you could create additional emails, load your files and share them all with your main account. You could even get creative with your email addresses to stay more organized. Like newzealandpics@gmail.com. This would give you an “unlimited” amount of storage.
Of course this may be against Google Terms of Service or something like that and I don’t really like the idea of Google hating me so I haven’t tried this as I have described. I have however used my work email, a google account, to expand my storage space. So if you have Google powered email accounts you only use for email you may want to reconsider your cloud storage options.
Anyone have experience with something like this?
