wild20 0 Report post Posted October 11, 2005 I have only used 0%! I don't need all that space except for sending large files which I never do. Gmail is great and they don't lie. The people who have used half their space proves that they have at least 1GB of space. Gmail is almost "secret" from the public. You can scarcely get it if you are not a webmaster because it is so hard to get. I have asked so many computer savvy people and none have heard of gmail. Us webmasters are lucky!

Also gmail inviations are relatively easy to get because many gmail users have more invitations than they need to give away to friends. There are also many gmail invitation spoolers available on the net. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gyad 0 Report post Posted October 11, 2005 Seriously, does it even matter if they're actually giving us that much space or not?They MIGHT have overexagerated, but isn't that the point of capturing people's attention? I don't think that the counter on their page is real either but it doesn't matter. Its the quality that they give us thats good. Now that I think about it, the amount of space that we're using might or might not be true either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frayed 0 Report post Posted October 11, 2005 I am only on 1mb so 0%. I don't save my Junk Email at all. I usually delete my mail if it gets past 1 page of viewing unless I have important things I need to check for a quick referrence. Also I have three accounts so if I use them for various things. I am using my main gmail though for the percentage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shigajet 0 Report post Posted October 11, 2005 I'm still using 0 (or 0-1) % of the Gmail space that is provided...usually because I delete any mail that's no longer useful to me and then empty the Trash folder, even thought I don't have to. I guess I just like to keep the Trash empty all the time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dragonfly 0 Report post Posted December 28, 2005 I came to realize that I really don't need even 1GB... So far I've used 150MB and there are so many stuffs in my Gmail inbox.I have lots of space left with me then.. But instead of filling up in this storage space I've started using another Gmail ID for some other files as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freesoul 0 Report post Posted December 28, 2005 I just uploaded some mp3's, documents and clips to my gmail account along with the mail. That accounts to 104 MB. Now that we are enjoying so much space I can't help wondering how we survived this long without it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
arnz 0 Report post Posted December 30, 2005 Come to think of it... After using the space mainly for attachments from Uni Assignments, Funnies from work mates/friends and other emails.. when it all adds up I dont really need 1 gig. I've used about 100+megs and still accounts up to 0-1% of 2.6gig capacity.Then again, it is useful as a data backup to a USB drive in the case of losing the USB drive somewhere. It could be argued as the reverse as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
