Google Doubles GMail Storage Space

Google Doubles GMail Storage Space 04/01/2005 01:47 AM
Reports that GMail could launch today have been dismissed after Google detailed new plans for popular "invite-only" service. Speaking to CNet News late yesterday, GMail project manager Georges Harik dismissed rumors that the one year anniversary of the email service would mark its public debut. Instead, Harik detailed plans to immediately double the storage capacity of GMail accounts from 1GB to 2GB. In addition, Google will continue to increase GMail account capacity beyond 2GB; effectively creating a limitless storage medium for users.

"One gigabyte did seem like a lot, but it turns out there are a lot of heavy users of mail," he said. "They send attachments, share photos. It all adds up."

Herik did not provide a timeline for a public release, but with Google currently handing out 50 GMail invites to each user, one would wonder if it even matters. In direct response to the initial GMail threat, leading email providers had to signifigantly increase their storage capacity. This latest move by Google will undoubtedly spark another storage race, benefiting email users everywhere.

Update: Looks as though storage space is already on the move. Several users are reporting their accounts steadily increasing in size, or already near the new 2GB limit

Google Typo Leads To Speculation About 1
Terabyte Of Gmail Storage

Google Typo Leads To Speculation About 1
Terabyte Of Gmail Storage 05/19/2004 02:57 AM
Someone submitted a note to Techdirt Tuesday afternoon noting that their Gmail account usage bar at the bottom of the page showed the limit to be 1000000 MB (approximately 1 terabyte) rather than the advertised 1 gigabyte (though, actually that reminds me of an annoying aside: Google keeps claiming 1 gigabyte of storage, but 1 gigabyte is actually 1024 MB and not the 1000 MB they show, which even Google will tell you). I checked my own Gmail account, and indeed, it showed the approaching terabyte level of storage. A quick note to a friend at Google confirmed the obvious: it was a mistake. However, that hasn't stopped rampant speculation to run around the internet - to the point that even News.com(.com) has written an article about it. Also, one juicy rumor about the fix: before they fix this error, they're making sure that no one actually has gone over the gigabyte storage level.

Google Expanding Gmail Storage: Wants To
Make It Virtually Limitless 04/01/2005 02:05 AM
It was exactly a year ago that Google launch ed their Gmail service shocking many into believing it was an April Fool's joke, because it offered so much more service than anyone else. The company even made it difficult to delete messages within Gmail, claiming that 1 gig would last a lifetime. Well, apparently some people used up that lifetime supply much faster than Google expected. Just days after Yah oo caught up to offer 1 gig of storage, Google is doubling Gmail's storage to 2 gigs, which sounds like the beginning of a storage war (instead of a price war). However, one of the statements in the article is a bit odd. It suggests Google is going to keep increasing the amount of storage allowed every day, so that it really is somewhat limitless. It's not clear then, why they don't just get rid of all limits on Gmail -- or just rever t back to last year's glitch where some people thought they had 1 terrabyte of Gmail storage. At least all of my spam will have plenty of room to stretch its legs now.
