More Gmail Storage
On Oct. 12th, the Google Gmail team announced via blog post an increase to the free webmail’s storage offering. The announcement, a somewhat cryptic message, stated that “today we’re announcing we are speeding up our counter and giving out more free storage.” Speeding up their counter to what?, I wondered. Checking my stats, it seems that I am now using 31% of my 3270 MB. Of course, the blog post reminds, if I need more storage than that, there is always the paid storage option, where I can buy tons more storage for cheap. I clicked the link to see what the paid storage was these days, and on the paid storage landing page it says that paid storage is available if I go over the current free offering of “2.9 GB and counting.” And counting? It sure is hard to pin these guys down to a number, isn’t it? Gmail users, respond…how big is your mailbox now?

545mb of 3223mb here
Hey Now Sarah,
2048 MB is how much storage I have @ Gmail, I think at least this is what it states @ the bottom of my inbox.
Thx,

Hi Sarah,
They must be speeding it up pretty nicely. Adam posted 3223mb at 5.25am and here I am at 12:50pm with 3334mb of space.
That’s a net gain of 11mb in 7 hours …
Wow!
I don’t really care. I’m still only using about 30% of my space now.
Best wishes to you.

“You are currently using 113 MB (3%) of your 3343 MB” I had no clue. I usually have the gmail skins firefox add-on enabled, which hides that.
The ranges are interesting…how strange that 2 of you both had 3223 MB at the same time…
now I’m at 3393!
3344 MB over here
Yesterday at this exact time: 3334mb
Today I’m showing: 3430mb
That means they are adding roughly 100mb per day.
Wow! That would mean a Gig in 10 days?
Am I right about that? I guess we’ll find out.
3582 @ 19.30GMT
still 100mb per 24hrs i think..
