GMail Playing Catch Up In Storage Space Limits

By Scott Gilbertson October 12, 2007 Categories: Business, Software & Tools

gmail.jpgGoogle has announced it will begin increasing the storage limits for GMail. The GMail storage counter will begin gaining additional storage later this month and will kick into high gear early next year when you’ll get an additional 3.3 MB of storage a day.

Google Apps users will be happy to know that their custom GMail addresses are included in the storage boost with both the Standard and Education Edition storage matching Gmail’s counter. Earlier this month Google Apps Premier Edition users already saw their storage bumped to 25 GB (up from 10 GB).

Given that storage space was one of GMail’s early triumphs its nice to see Google sticking to the plan. But it’s worth noting that the other big players already have GMail beat — Microsoft Live Mail offers up to 5 GB of storage and Yahoo Mail offers unlimited storage.

Naturally, if you need more storage in GMail you can still increase your capacity with GMail’s paid options.
