2GB Gmail account



Google has announced that existing Gmail accounts will be expanded from 1GB to 2 GB.

The 2 GB capacity can only be fully utilized if one treats the Gmail account as an ftp account and makes the storage space as a Internet disk drive. For an average user, I don't think email alone could use up more than 30 %, or 600 MB.

I am not impressed by Google's move. Instead of giving out so much capacity, Google should better retain the Gmail account to 1 GB, but to open more accounts to new users.
