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.

Short on DriveSpace ? Gmail moves to 1 TB storage offer
I heard about this as well, and its all over the place after ZDNet posted news about it and got picked up by slashdot a few minutes back - but my gmail.com account still says 1000 MB and not 1,000,000 MB as reported.

So dont know if this is something …

 

It is ridiculous that Google gets tons of press for high storage allowances when skizzle.com has been doing this for years, and does it using real file uploads and file folders with no current storage limits. Even the Clubs are not limited on storage. Encouraging people to abuse the concept of E-mail for the sake of file storage (which is what it will be used for) is ridiculous. Get real anytime, anywhere storage and then some with a SKIZZLE account.

 

Gmail Offering 1 Terabyte of Space
It looks like some special Gmail users received a surprise by having their Gmail account storage bumped up from 1,000MB to 1,000,000MB. Elliot Lee’s blog reported this yesterday, so did this blog. C|Net reported on this later on that day,…

 

sorry, down to 1000 (sorry for the unnecessary comment.)

 

oh cripes! it just went back down to 100mb, did this happen to you?
