11MB Left on the Gmail countdown...

[So]

(sorry about the accidental enter guys - new KB )

April Fools is over!

 

[Goosemaster]

A Google approach to math.

On the eve of Gmail's one-year birthday, our engineers were toiling away furiously. Notes scribbled all over the walls. Complex calculations on napkins and empty pizza boxes. Millions of M&Ms.

The result?... starting today, we're beginning the roll-out of our new and top secret Infinity+1 storage plan. The key features are:

*

Write, don't worry.
You want to stop caring about storage. We want to keep giving you more. Today, and beyond.

*

The gift that keeps on giving.
1995.999308 megabytes of storage (and counting) for every user.

*

No complicated equations. No tough algorithms.
Just this one graph: https://gmail.google.com/gmail/help/images/infinity.gif

I love it. Anyone else would've just jumped the storage to 2GB. Google inched it up slowly.

We should register a Gmail account, everyone get a Gmail Drive Extension for Windows and upload like bastards, see if we can fill up 2Gb or something

I'm sure 10 people could overtake the counter.

[Edit] Looking closer, my connection could overtake that counter :laugh:

2036....

Next essential step: Larger Attachments/File Sizes.

OMG.
It hasn't stopped yet!!!
Last thing I knew, 2048MB was 2GB.
But it's at 2048.7 right now.
Well, it hit 2050, then started going really slowly, very small increments.
I guess they are going to keep on giving, just little by little.

 

[Jeff7181]

It would be kinda cool if they gave the total amount of space available among every gmail account, and the amount of space used.

 

[Icopoli]

It hit 2050, now it's going up very slowly.

 

[BespinReactorShaft]

Wtf, 2050MB and still counting? What's the final figure supposed to be?

 

[Lonyo]

Storage is an important part of email, but that doesn't mean you should have to worry about it. To celebrate our one-year birthday, we're giving everyone one more gigabyte. But why stop the party there? Our plan is to continue growing your storage beyond 2GBs by giving you more space as we are able. We know that email will only become more important in people's lives, and we want Gmail to keep up with our users and their needs. From Gmail, you can expect more.
