Gmail, a Google-tested email system, has a loophole that allows some testers to temporarily get 1000G of free capacity, 1000 times times more than the company promises.
Google has just increased its e-mail storage capacity by 1000 times times the arms race. Some users of Google's Gmail online email service May 18 discovered that their storage capacity limit has been quietly increased to 1 million MB, or 1TB. This capacity is four times times larger than the latest hard disk storage capacity of high-end home computers. A Google spokeswoman said in Wednesday that the increase in storage capacity was the result of a loophole that the company was patching up. Gmail currently offers 1G of capacity. 1000G is enough to accommodate DVD movies that are uninterrupted for 16 consecutive days. Gmail services are still being tested. It is not clear what Google will offer in the future, as well as on what terms and to which users. Google did not comment on the news.
Detroit resident Rajiv Vyas has been using Gmai service for one months. He swore that the change had indeed occurred. He said, "This is a good thing." Although I don't know what I'm going to do with such a large storage capacity, this storage capacity not only helps me to store photos, but also stores all the data on my desktop computer. This capacity is 10 times times larger than my office or home computer's storage space. Google announced in April this year that it will launch a network of 1GB storage space e-mail services. This message raises competition for increased network e-mail service storage space. The move also put pressure on the dominant Internet e-mail service provider Yahoo and Microsoft MSN. Microsoft's Homail costs 10 to 50 dollars a year, providing a small amount of storage space. Yahoo has launched an e-mail service program that provides 100MB of storage space for Google's Gmail service. In the UK, Lycos has launched an e-mail service that charges 1GB of storage capacity. Spymac, a competitor based on Mac users, also offers free e-mail services for 1GB storage space. The restrictions on Gmail's free storage may be welcome, but the terms of the service raise concerns about privacy because Google's plans include scanning the content of users ' emails to provide targeted advertising.
