It seems lately that everytime I check my gmail account it tells me that I have more and more available space. It now says I have 2,075 megs available. Is everyone else seeing this?

Yep it's been raised to 2gig and will probably go higher.

I've been wondering the same. I thought the space was being increased from 1GB to 2GB, obviously I was wrong!

Yahoo and Google are going head to head.

I've noticed that Yahoo mail has been a little glitchy and slow sometimes. I wonder if it's because they are stretching themselves too thin?

Oh Whew, so it is not just me. Not like I need the space now, but it is nice to have.

Thanks

If you go to the login page, it shows a continuously running counter, so it will be slowly increasing indefinately (the jump to 2 gig was immediate).

With HD prices going down, its not surprising -- and off course a small percentage will actually use that space -- I never got the whole E-Mail wars thing, but hotmail is surly a loser.

After a few hundred MBs worth of space, it really doesn't matter much to me. I do thank Gmail for taking the initiative to spark off the size increases though, the previous capacities of 2MB and whatnot were ridiculous. Interesting how the increases were so quick and large, I wonder if providers were cheating end-users off, or if they truly had to scramble to increase storage.

Yeah I noticed too. Though I'll never have that many emails, there is freeware out there that will let you use that space as a virtual drive. Very cool.

GMail drive allows you to use your gmail storage as a flash drive. Quite nice, actually

Hello

is anybody using email space as a virtual drive for backing up audio files?
I'm considering using multiple gmail accounts and to have each account act as a filing system.The freewares I've found are gdrive, roamdrive and peer2mail. Any insights would be greatly appreciated.
