As qda reported Gmail are playing with us by manipulating the storage counter. It's obviously a joke. Here is how mine looks:

You are currently using 34 MB (3%) of your 1214 MB.
|
The current stored data isn't even close to right.

Google Doubles GMail Storage Space
| Quote: |
Reports that GMail could launch today have been dismissed after Google detailed new plans for popular "invite-only" service. Speaking to CNet News late yesterday, GMail project manager Georges Harik dismissed rumors that the one year anniversary of the email service would mark its public debut. Instead, Harik detailed plans to immediately double the storage capacity of GMail accounts from 1GB to 2GB. In addition, Google will continue to increase GMail account capacity beyond 2GB; effectively creating a limitless storage medium for users.
"One gigabyte did seem like a lot, but it turns out there are a lot of heavy users of mail," he said. "They send attachments, share photos. It all adds up."
Herik did not provide a timeline for a public release, but with Google currently handing out 50 GMail invites to each user, one would wonder if it even matters. In direct response to the initial GMail threat, leading email providers had to signifigantly increase their storage capacity. This latest move by Google will undoubtedly spark another storage race, benefiting email users everywhere.
Update: Looks as though storage space is already on the move. Google has posted a nifty counter on the GMail homepage, showing users a constantly changing storage count.

Seems like beta. Better to wait and observe its popularity.

Gmail as a mountable drive, Gmail FS
Enjoy |
I've tried that but I don't think It's wise using it full time because they could shut you down. Anyone who uses this daily?
|
I've had it since the beginning. Google doesn't seem to mind that at all but if you use too much bandwidth for things like transferring movies, they crack down.

Transferring movies via Gmail FS? Sounds a little futuristic. Anyway, Gmail forced all the world's companies to expand storage amount of their email accounts. Luckily for us.

Which is a bit more interesting than usual questions like:
1. "When xxx crack will be released?"
2. "Does your Alcohol image of xxx work?"
3. "xxx hangs in options menu!"
4. "Reloaded sucks!"
5. "Hoodlum sucks!"
6. "I wonder how they cracked it?"
7. "I do not see this release on my site!"
8. and so on...
Endless story...
Threads like this are needed and give, at least for me, positive break from those common "problems".
