1 Terabyte (1,000 GB) of Gmail Storage

It looks like the space limit in my Gmail email account is now 1,000 GB (one million megabytes):

1,000 GB of Space in Gmail

I’m not the only one.

My guess is that this increase is in response to Yahoo’s announcement that their free email users will get 100mb space. As if it wasn’t enough already? ;)

Who knows if it’ll stay this way? In any case, feel free to send me an email: technician at gmail dot com (no spam please; I already get it).

Update: If you don’t already have an account, you can get a Gmail invite here.

Match 19, 2006 update: I was thinking of closing comments, but now that I have Paged Comments, it looks okay. I’ll leave it open, at least for the time being. So you can discuss Gmail here. But I really think that it’s much better to discuss in the Gmail forum instead.

“You are currently using 0 MB (0%) of your 1000000 MB.”
Me too

 

it was only for a while.. :(

 

My terabyte went away on its own, no action from me. I wonder whether it was a bug or a subtle trial balloon.

 

I have tried to analyze the new limit but it still baffles me :)

 

Heh. I just took a screen of my terabyte only to have them take it right back! Dang!
