Google plans to double Gmail capacity


Recommended Posts

jd957, you might be looking at your percentage of you total email box space. The percentage change to calculate the new total amount of allowed space (2 gb or 2024 mb in computer language).

Mine is going up and with about 100 MB more to go, I will have 2 GB by tonight! :D

i know.....lol, been following this thread and have been laughing. just put that there for a reaction. :rolleyes: :D

blah! i'll just wait untill it reaches 2GB or more specifically 2048MB ;) though i may not be at home to see it happen :unsure:

EDIT: ok i just experimented and found out that it increases by 0.01MB/sec therefore it increases by 1MB every 1min45sec. so at this rate from the amount it is at (round of to nearest 5 or 10 if you want) how long before it reaches 2048MB? anyone who loves maths wanna figure it out?

EDIT2: my guess is nobody does (i don't either..).

ok i rounded it off to 1920MB so that leaves 80MB to go.

80*1.75=140

140/60=2.33... hrs (i.e. 2hrs19min untill 2000MB)

48*1.75=84

84/60=1.4 hrs (i.e. 1hr24mins)

so 2hrs19min+1hr24min= 3hrs43mins untill counter reaches 2048MB (coutning from 1920MB)

is this right??

24 pages big :yes:

But yeh

Im gonna guss about 30 mins or so before 2000mb, then the counter is going to stop, then Gmail is going to keep adding space on according to a source. Lets see everyones inboxs :p

whoa! I don't need that much! I've only used around 10 meg yet!

Mostly Spam, of course.

How can the servers make room and reverse 2 GB for like a million or two people that uses Gmail?

Look: 2 GB x 1 000 000 = 2 000 000 GB

THey can give people 2 GB because not everybody will use 2 G. Most people here were using like 10% of their 1GB. Some , myself included were at 25% or more. That means for 1 GB of space 10 people or more (on a rough average) could use 1GB. Google doesn't have to have that much space on hand, they will just have to be ready to purchase more space...as the need gradually comes!

lol, it would be cool if they had fluctuating sizes.

life is random, and so is the size of your mailbox.

ROFLMAO OMGBBQ

I think it'll be 2000mb, not 2048mb. Their 1GB of email space was 1000mb... but who's crying over 48 megs of space?

especially when you have 2GB?

Maybe we'll receive a true 2 GB box, 2048 MB, I don't know.

We didn't start with 1024 though did we . . .

Everyone got 50 invites again, no matter how many you sent out before?

Was on 36, back to 50.

Also, i dont know javascript, but maybe the target/counter could be looked at on the page. . . . anyone?

    • If you actually used it instead of responding like a petulant child you might be surprised. I switched from Google some time ago and have been very satisfied.
    • I am one of the first people to use the DXVK technology. In the channel below you can see some videos that I have made using this technology, including Assassin's Creed Odyssey. https://www.youtube.com/@nahum7995/videos Assassin's Creed Odyssey experienced several bugs and technical issues during its first months after release. It launched with its own fair share of funny but frustrating glitches. I ran it on DXVK 9 days after its release and I played it for many hours but didn't see a single significant bug on Linux. Assassin's Creed Odyssey is widely celebrated for pushing the franchise in bold new directions and specifically for nailing several elements better than any other title in the AC series: Player Choice & Branching Narrative, The Mercenary & Cultist System, Mythological Integration, Overpowered Combat Abilities, Open World Exploration But what I'm trying to point out is that this game wasn't quite playable on most windows systems, until a few months after its release when most of the bugs were fixed. However, on Linux it ran completely flawless from day one, although DXVK had seen little development and refinement at the time. What do you think the situation will be in 2026 now that most bugs and glitches of DXVK have been completely eliminated? This is information from Google about these situations that I am quoting. In many cases, using DXVK (a translation layer that converts DirectX 9, 10, or 11 into Vulkan) can result in more stable frame times and higher performance than native Windows rendering. This happens primarily by bypassing driver overhead and multithreading draw calls that were previously restricted to a single CPU core. Older APIs (like DirectX 9 and 11) are largely single-threaded on the CPU side. DXVK translates these calls to Vulkan, which is highly multi-threaded. This reduces CPU-bound stuttering on weaker processors. In certain cases, GPU manufacturers (especially AMD) have significantly better and more modern Vulkan drivers than they do for legacy DirectX. Vulkan gives developers—and in this case, the translation layer—closer control over how resources are held in VRAM. This can prevent micro-stutters and sudden frame drops during chaotic gameplay. Yes, certain games, particularly older DirectX 9 to 11 titles, can run with fewer crashes on DXVK than on native Windows. By intercepting DirectX draw calls and translating them into the modern, highly efficient Vulkan API, DXVK bypasses the limitations and poor driver support that cause instability in aging game engines. PlayStation 1, PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3 can be easily and perfectly emulated on Linux. In fact, modern Linux emulators offer high-performance upscaling, widescreen patches, and automatic controller mapping out of the box.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 PlayStation 1/2/3 games look drastically better on Linux thanks to resolution upscaling. Furthermore, it is also a fact that you cannot play many fun games on Windows either, isn't it? - The Nintendo Switch has an extensive library of exclusive games. - PlayStation has an extensive library of exclusive games - Android has "mobile-exclusive" games, meaning they are exclusive to mobile devices (iOS and Android) and aren't available on PC or consoles. And finally, it is also the case that in the next five years there will be games that millions of people will say you absolutely must play and that they want to play this specific game that released a few days ago. However, the other side of this story is that currently, absolutely no one cares that they cannot play these upcoming games right now.
