Google plans to double Gmail capacity


Recommended Posts

I fail to see how this ever growing limit is benifiting anyone at the moment. There shall be no-one who has used up 1GB of e-mails legitimately and be wanting more.

Now, please. Just because the limit keeps getting (theoretically) higher, doesn't mean you can spam Neowin about it. It's not benifiting you. Not at all.

Sn00pY. You need to relax, and leave the guy alone. Same with you Chode. I think highly of both of you, and to see you two fight it out just lowers both mine, and others respect for you guys.

OK...true i was being a bit pedantic...Sorry Chode. didnt think we would "flame war" over that...but hey...back to topic eh mate?

You are currently using 14 MB (1%) of your 1202 MB.

muhaha!

[if you wish to pm me Chode to calm the situation feel free - again sorry though]

Thing is, people. What you fail to understand is. Yes, we've gathered it's raising the bar every few seconds. But. So what? We're all going at the same stage. Hell, at this moment in time, it's just who-ever can be arsed posting first about how theirs grew.

Seriously guys, lay off the spam in this topic. As that is, what I regard it as.

A discussion about GMail and it's attempts to win this 'e-mail battle' is far more suited IMO. Again, I ask - lay of the spam?

[off-topic]Ahh, .Atlantis. The voice of reason.

Sorry Sn00py, having a terrible couple of weeks and I over-reacted. I'm sorry.[/off-topic]

Gmail feels very slow to me. Please everyone quit refreshing :p

Honestly, I don't understand how they can do it. They've got so many people out there that have g-mail accounts. Some, have more than one. Pretty soon Google will have to build additional buildings for more servers alone. I'll admit, having my gmail account for almost a year now, and I've probably only had about 20 pieces of junk mail. I've never deleted a single e-mail and I'm still only using 15% of my account. TO all those who are using more... something is seriously wrong.

After importing my e-mails into outlook... I have over 22,000 e-mails (most of which are forum posts and work related)

Google is just wasting space.

Like I said earlier. Theoretical space. IMO They don't allocate 1GB per new account. They just increase the size as more e-mails arrive. Therefore this major update that's sparked such controversy, is actually just text more so than anything else.

You didnt hear.. I forget where, somewhere in the midwest.... Google is having so much trouble with lack of power for their servers.. that they are building a new compound right down the road from a nuclear power plant.. Solely for their servers.. because they have so many and draw so much current that where they had them couldnt power them well enough..

    • For the purpose that it was built for, it’s a great machine. It’s okay to own multiple machines, it’s okay for machines to be different. If every computer was the same, they’d be boring af.
    • OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT's memory, making the system more capable, current, and scalable across long-term use. Memory allows ChatGPT to remember useful details about users, including their preferences, projects, and constraints. Instead of starting every conversation from scratch, ChatGPT can use this context to provide more relevant responses in future chats. OpenAI first launched saved memories in February 2024. That feature allowed users to explicitly ask ChatGPT to save information into its memory, such as travel plans or writing preferences. However, this system had limits because it depended heavily on users giving clear instructions to remember something. Additionally, saved memories could become stale over time. In April 2025, OpenAI expanded memory by allowing ChatGPT to reference past chat context outside the saved memories list. This was powered by a background process called “dreaming,” which automatically curates memories from chat history. This made ChatGPT better at learning from natural conversation without requiring users to manually save every detail. Today, OpenAI announced a more capable and compute-efficient memory architecture built on top of dreaming. This new system improves ChatGPT’s ability to carry forward useful context, follow user preferences, and remain accurate as time passes. According to OpenAI’s internal evaluations, the new system improves factual recall from 67.9% in 2025 to 82.8% in 2026. Preference adherence improves from 55.3% to 71.3%, while accuracy over time improves from 52.2% to 75.1%. The best part of this new system is a new memory summary page where users can review ChatGPT's memories. Users can even update details, correct information, or give instructions on what topics ChatGPT should bring up and when. This new, improved memory system is available to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users in the US starting today. It will roll out to more countries, as well as Free and Go users, in the coming weeks.
    • I work for a video production company in Australia. The camera operators shoot footage and then pass the SD card over to the editors. Much easier than handing over the entire camera. Plus, on a busy day you can hand off the SD card and then pop another in for the next shoot. Or, you might have used multiple SD cards because you need the extra space for a long shoot. I also use USB cables and wifi for transferring footage, but in many cases an SD card reader is the easiest method.
