Google increases Gmail storage
Posted on | October 16, 2007 | 6 Comments
Google has announced that the free online storage for Gmail will increase gradually in the next days. As of October 23th, users will get 4321MB of storage, and from January 4th next year, will see 6283MB of storage.
This is Google’s answer to Microsoft’s 5GB for Windows Live Hotmail service and Yahoo’s “unlimited” storage offer. After that users will receive 3.3MB every day, which is apparently 10 times larger than the current rate of growth.
A good news indeed though not all users can fully utilize the storage space like myself who only managed to use 7 percent or 245MB on my Gmail account.
Anybody here who uses 50 percent of their Gmail storage?

Mine’s at 35% (1164MB). Still safe from having to delete email.

I can hardly imagine someone will start deleting their emails soon because of storage constraints specially now that Google will start the 3.3MB per day storage increment, not unless that person is using their account as a personal storage medium. (e.g. Gmail Drive)

I like Gmail very much. I believe it will be the most famous email provider, because Google is pretty good. Now it seems that google is more and more commercial. What do think?

Here in the Philippines, Yahoo mail is the preferred email provider by many but I’m more a Gmail user because of the spam protection and pop feature.
I do agree that Google is getting more and more commercial but I guess that’s expected as they need to get something in return for providing such service.

i haven’t used up much of my storage space, since i use pop and set it to delete all downloaded email. why the quotes in yahoo’s unlimited mail? i’m afraid i don’t use yahoo mail so i wouldn’t know.
