Google plans to double Gmail capacity


Recommended Posts

anyone have an idea on the gmail servers how big they must be? seriously with 2 gigs free space how are they giving all this away for free anyhow?

edit: HOLY ****!!!,

"You are currently using 21 MB (2%) of your 1086 MB."

i just checked it 15 min ago it was 1000mb!!!

ok, i noticed something when i justed checked my gmail account.  Whenever i refresh the page the storage amount increases.  Is it just me or is gmail upgrading storage 1MB at a time?

Huge clusters? It is pretty amazing how they are able to just give out 1GB, especially Yahoo! with millions of accounts.

Now I'm from 1076 to 1085 and now to 1087!! Google is getting me excited now!

ya seriously i cant even imagine on how many they have right now not to mention the new increases that are happening this very moment

Can anyone stop to quote his space?

and anyone can test to pass beyond 1GB to see if it's true or not?

I can test, by uploading my music, but that would take days and they might suspend my account for thinking that I'm uploading warez or something.

I could make a new account and test that.

Actually, I believe you may be correct. Ten minutes ago I had 1082MB and now I have 1093. Oh well, not like I even need 100mb :p

Everyone go to the GMail home page! Quick!

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.

      1096.644111 megabytes of storage (and counting) for every user.

    *

      No complicated equations. No tough algorithms.

      Just this one graph:

LOL

nice joke :)

if they were really planning to give us 2GB, they would increase it directly to 2GB (first to a few users, then extend it gradually to all, like they do with every new feature).

This is just a joke... not their style... to increase with a few MB to ALL of us in the same time.

Anyway, i'm glad they added rich text editing :) now waiting HTML support ;)

    • I found that stability back then was really down to the motherboard manufacturer. Back then i stuck with Microstar motherboards and VIA chipsets as they were ultra reliable. Most stuff was done with jumpers and left little room for user created problems 👍
    • Yes, Scoop was created to promote Coreutils for Windows. You can still see early versions of their website on the Web Archive. It was a joke that nobody took seriously. Microsoft's implementation of Coreutils, however, are built in Rust.
    • Looks like EA's Star Wars Zero Company will be out this August by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Over a year ago, EA surprise announced that a team of former Firaxis members is working on a brand-new Star Wars game. Dubbed Zero Company, the title would have XCOM-like turn-based tactics gameplay as players manage a squad of professionals from all over the galaxy. Now, just ahead of an official announcement, it looks like the release date has leaked out. The upcoming Summer Game Fest presentation on Friday is when EA is supposed to show off the title's gameplay footage, with fans also expecting it to reveal a release date. However, the ever-reliable billbil-kun from Dealabs says they have already managed to find out when the game is coming out and what versions fans will have the option of purchasing. Per the leak, Star Wars Zero Company has an August 27, 2026, release date attached to it. The title is slated to release on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $49.99 standard and $59.99 Deluxe edition. The leaker also adds that there won't be any early access perk attached to this special edition. Pre-orders could kick off alongside the official announcement this Friday, too. For those unfamiliar with the title, Bit Reactor is developing Star Wars Zero Company with help from Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games. The EA-published title is said to be set during the "twilight of the Clone Wars." We will have to wait and see if base building and management mechanics from the XCOM series will be present here, too. "You will step into the shoes of Hawks, a former Republic officer who leads Zero Company — an unconventional outfit of professionals for hire hailing from across the galaxy," reads the game description. "Hawks and Zero Company are recruited for an operation that pits them against an emerging threat that will consume the galaxy if left unchecked. To succeed, Hawks will lead a team of uneasy allies who must set aside their differences to overcome nearly impossible odds." You can catch the Star Wars Zero Company extended gameplay reveal at the Summer Game Fest showcase that's kicking off on Friday at 2 pm PT / 5 pm ET.
    • All their other games always had a new cast and new story, so that's not very surprising. The new dev is worrisome though.
