14 DAY TRIAL // At this time, Gmail offers 2861.955394 megabytes (and counting) of free storage but what happens if you use all this capacity? Is your account getting blocked or will the storage size be automatically increased? Brett Jackson, cited by Googlified, sustained that his account is 99 percent full so he has no idea what happens next. "Obviously I use Gmail heavily - I'll occasionally send work files to home and vice versa, but I'm not using this account for file storage, proper. I don't want to delete s**t - and I shouldn't have to either, right? "Over 2861.671390 megabytes (and counting) of free storage so you'll never need to delete another message." So, what now, Google? Serious. Serious," he wrote.
Some time ago, Yahoo started a new battle for the mail solutions after the Sunnyvale company announced that it plans to offer unlimited storage size for all the Yahoo Mail owners. Actually, it already started doing that since the beginning of May so the lucky guys on the Internet are already benefiting from unlimited size and Yahoo Messenger implemented straight into the mail interface.
At that time, the Mountain View company's officials tried to reply to Yahoo's statements and sustained that Gmail would be soon offering infinite storage size plus one, just to be more than Yahoo's offering. Obviously, it was only a funny remark because it seems like there is no official plan for unlimited size of Gmail account.
Now, what should we do if our accounts are getting full of messages and the limit of the storage size is reached? Well, there are several solutions available but none of them are easy enough to represent an advantage for Gmail. First of all, you can create another Gmail account because it is available for free and forward all the incoming mails to this new inbox. Also, you can wait a little big longer until the Gmail storage size is automatically increased by the parent company.
