G is for growth
Storage is an important part of email, but that doesn't mean you should have to worry about it. To celebrate our one-year birthday, we're giving everyone one more gigabyte. But why stop the party there? Our plan is to continue growing your storage beyond 2GBs by giving you more space as we are able. We know that email will only become more important in people's lives, and we want Gmail to keep up with our users and their needs. From Gmail, you can expect more.

We're not in the plains anymore
Fonts, bullets and highlighting, oh my! Gmail now offers rich text formatting. And over 60 colors of the rainbow. Discover a land of more than just black and white. Learn more

It's "beyond 2GBs."

It's ~+1

I think its cool, i can watch the gigabyte digits go up and up all day at school later

But it says how much can you attach..?

my sister tried attaching some file of 10 mb (aprox) and never been attached.. 10 mb its the limit isnt it?

Will the limit of the attachments raise to ?

how awesome is gmail now 2 gig +, and formatting is great

gmail just moved up a notch in my books and plus look at this amasing graph!

greatness i tells ya, greatnes!

I don't even need another GB, but I'm glad to have it, lol. Shame they don't seem to be going public. However I must say their plans to go further seem interesting...I bet by next year we have 3-5gb accounts .
I don't seem to have 2gb, just 1197 MB......that's no where near 2gb

lol, seesh i saw the google aptitute test today for joining google, you should see what the questions are like, i swear the smartest people in the world must work for google!

"There is a problem with Unix, how would you fix it?" then theres like 2 pages , and theres even more psycho questions then that but i just can't remember them at the moment

Google make a new functional beta like every week

damn i havent even used 1gig yet prob not even 1mb

tha's so cool... but 2 Gigas are way more then enough btw I know someone thats hes E-mail is 51 Gigas!!! (no jk) and the attachment limit is 5 Giga! but I dont think its free...

You are currently using 5 MB (0%) of your 1242 MB.
Hmm, it says they wont (obviously) reach infinity on the site, but at the rate its going, if it were to stop at the end of today it would reach 2gb. (That's in american time, I think).
Anyway, if you're wondering what to do with all that space, just get GMail drive...

wow 2Gb is great i will never use it. i havent even used 100Mb yet!!
but it is good to know that i have it

will Hotmail make there's 1Gig? or cave in an let the other free email services win

awesome!!!!2 GB!!!
Gmail e great!
but i don't even used 2 MB

Yeh if you logout and go to gmail.google.com then you'll see a count up , it should continue up to around about 2 gigs at midnight in the States

You are currently using 18 MB (1%) of your 1283 MB.

1%!!!!!!!

man im never going to use 1283MB

Ya its on 1283
My god this is gonna take a long time...

Isn't the idea that it doesn't stop at 2gb? Hence infinity + 1?

I'm using an amazing 17mb of my 1464mb

I think it's just for all users but every user will get 2gb not more..I think

You are currently using 22 MB (2%) of your 1474 MB. 2% ...

but can someone tell me? how much can you be able to attach?
theres no point of 2gb if you cant attach more than 10 mb...

Now thats its changing to 2gb I can put 2 gigs of my pc on it with GMail Drive

The rich text looks amazing! a good improve, great move by google

Still no [img] kind of things yet

I like to send my emos

Well, if the attachment limit is still 10mb, I can still use my dear Axe to cut down files.

I'm starting to use one of my accounts as storage, it's very convenient.

Anyone considered that it might be april fools?

i bet last year people thought it was a joke about having 1gb of storage

yes, but i'm referring to the "infinity + 1" graph... if you go to the gmail homepage, you'll notice they're promising endless storage space as the numbers just keep going up... and up... 2 GB i can believe... but inifnity +1? anyways, we'll see tomorrow

Well, for a company like Google I doubt it would be too good to lie to their clients like that. Yes, they are "funny", but this has even been on the news (CNN, for example).

Plus, what A. Madsen says.

Try to get your head around infinity + 1 = infinity

Everytime you increase infinity, the new number becomes infinity. Infinity is kinda like the square root of -1, you can't prove it exists, but it is useful in formulae and functions

wow cool more memory that will go unused 2gb for email storage like wtf

They have now reached 2GB
The count has not stopped
Edit:
Well, 2GB's is actually 2048 MB witch they havent reached yet

yeah, the login page's back to normal except the storage counter!, 2014MB now

Well I'm at 2029MB atm...
I believe the source code on the front page has changed, before it was nice and easy to read the start and end vars, I believe it's going to stop at 2050MB, but I'm more of a VB guy myself...

yup its over 2 {REAL} GB's now

EDIT

oh its just this second stopped

EDIT #2

You all have 2050 MB's of storage now

Its going over 2050Mb now, when is it going to stop .

maybe in 3GB

They just sat two more decimals on the number, so now they are giving us more space just more slowly

its already stopped

EDIT

Started up again

they're objective was 2GB.
now they leet the counter go very slow

No, I think when it slows down its just server lag, the increase is absolute probably, until they have an overload or something... .

I think they should stop. 2GB is fine for now
Instead of giving us more space they should launch Gmail for the public

OMFG! Look at the counter!
We're over 2050 MB storage!
Unbelieveable! Incredible! Gmail!

I am not going to use all that  but anyway keep going google/gmail.

i was thinking in that, but i don't have sure

I tht it wouldbe up by now
Its still on 2050 mb .....
wait a min ... 2 gb = 1 gb x 2 = 2 x 1024 mb = 2048 mb
WTF .... how much will this keep going to

i think it is going to keep going forever i mean at the rate it is going its only 1mb every 7 hours

so thats about 1 extra gig every ~300 days right?

yeah but you must remember that my timing isnt exact. it is probably 365 days because that would make the most sense. i will do some more tmiings and come back to you on that.

According to the source, it's not slooowly counting towards 2075 mb,
and there is nothing defined after that

hmm i guess it isnt a year. if it was a year it would be 2.87mb per day which it isnt. it has to be more than 3mb per day and when i calculate it it comes out to be 3.456mbs per day. i think this is as accurate as I can be.

PS TB you are right be it said two gig last night on the site was the maximum it would go to they seem to just keep changing it.

DAMN!

they seriously going to keep on doing this forever?! CANNT BE! i emna they got to have a limit, ( not that i would mind if they didnt! ) but shiit man this is sooo COOL

not crazy, helpful.
but they could made Gmail public

if they made gmail public they would have more customers and they would have 2 buy more space

btw, how much space DO they have?
