They can't seems to build data centers fast enough. This past summer the comment was made, by Google, that their servers are full.

I'm the kind of person who does archive all of his mail, and who does send and receive rather large files to and from people. I have one account with only 88 messages (I have a lot of accounts), and already I'm using 145 MB! On the matter of my multiple accounts, this is why infinite storage seems reasonable to me. People can always create more accounts if they need more storage, and this just makes things easier, with people not having to worry about managing multiple accounts and taking up too many usernames. In fact, this might even save space, as companies would not have to store multiple user accounts' profile information. I’m not going to assume this is real, but if it is, I don’t mind.

It would have been nice to see some harder evidence, but I'm sure Google really is working on it and they have referred to it in the past as being "infinity plus one". @PhoenixP3K: Yep, Hotmail was at 2MB at one point before they jumped into the 4MB realm and then into the really big numbers.

They can average around 3MB and if you go through around editing 20 or 30 revisions you'll fill it fast. I don't mind much about storage because I never ran out of space, even when I was with Hotmail with 2MB of space (was it ever this small?).
