Gmail 9GB False Alarm

There’s a nice line of whispers going around about Gmail’s storage being upped to 9GB’s! Guess they’re trying to compete with Yahoo’s unlimited storage? I don’t understand it at all really, because very few people actually use the amount of space they have now, let alone 9GB’s. I’m only using 10mb’s to be honest (0%). Let’s not fool ourselves people. I recommend checking out the comments section of the provided link up above. Why? Because upon further reading you will find out that:



quamis:
“Gmail and picasa and other google services will share the same storage (fore premium users) so what you see there is the 2.8Gb quota from gmail + the picasa quota + everything else… this means that you should have 9Gb avail for Picasa also”



Daniel:

“False news…

Google is simply now SHARING your storage space between Gmail and Picasa Web Albums - so those who are seeing additional storage in Gmail are so because they’ve upgraded their Picasa Web Albums account.”

Reports we’re getting in the mail say that some Gmail users have seen their storage bumped to over 9GB today - 9030MB, to be exact. If not a glitch (and why would it be?), it means Google is playing catch-up with Yahoo, which now provides unlimited storage.

With no other info, we can only assume the accounts are currently being selected at random. As someone who is just about to exceed his Gmail limit, I’m keeping my fingers crossed.
