Google Increasing GMail Storage

Frederic    blogging    

Some good news from Google today. They are speeding up the “infinity+1″ counter and adding more storage to GMail. Google Apps users will also get a boost in the next few days (for me, it is currently the same as my regular GMail: 2.9GB).

In April 2005, we started increasing Gmail storage as part of our “Infinity+1″ storage plan. At that time, we realized we’d never reach infinity, but we promised to keep giving Gmail users more space as we were able. That said, a few of you are using Gmail so much that you’re running out of space, so to make good on our promise, today we’re announcing we are speeding up our counter and giving out more free storage.

Googlified did the math:

1. 2912MB by October 11, 2007 midnight Google time
2. 4.2GB by the 23rd this month
3. 6GB by January 4th next year
4. 42GB by the year of 2038
5. and 2.70266701 × 10⁷² TB* by 1/2/3456 7:00

Personally, I use gmail exclusively, but I have only yet reached about 1GB of mail, so this doesn’t really affect me. Maybe I just need people to send me more RAW pictures…
