Google Doubles Email Storage Space

Google announced that it will double Gmail storage space from 1 to 2 gigabytes. From that point the company plans to add storage daily to provide its users a virtually unlimited capacity going forward. Yes this is right after Yahoo vowed to match the 1 gigabyte, Google spits on you Yahoo. Lol.

The Mountain View, Calif.-based Web giant on Friday plans to double the free storage on Gmail from 1GB to 2GB, said Georges Harik, Gmail product management director. After that, Google will add a yet-to-be-determined amount of extra storage daily, with no plans to stop. "We wanted to make sure we have a plan in place for when people reach their storage limit," he explained. "We don't want people to worry that they might run out."
