Google to double Gmail Capacity

Quote:

Google plans to offer a bottomless cup of storage with its Gmail Web-based e-mail service, dramatically raising the bar for rivals in the sharply competitive business for the second time in a year.

The Mountain View, Calif.-based Web giant on Friday plans to double the free storage on Gmail from 1GB to 2GB, said Georges Harik, Gmail product management director. After that, Google will add a yet-to-be-determined amount of extra storage daily, with no plans to stop.

The move highlights the seemingly inexhaustible storage needs of a small group of heavy e-mail users, and the sharply falling costs of online storage. Lifting pre-defined storage caps for Web-based e-mail could have broader ripple effects, Harik said, changing the way people think about quotas from something that is set in advance to something that grows with the user.

I can't tell you how pleased I am to see this. I've been on 96% for the last month or so, and I'm happy I won't have to delete anything to recieve more stuff :D

I've gone down to 2% of my 1214mb used.
I love that they are expanding the storage though, hopefully it'll cause some competition, and hopefully gmail will become more well used.

Good gravy! I don't even use 10MB of my GMail, let alone 2GB!

This is all well and good, but they should also recognize that their attachment size is crap. That needs to be looked at.
