- lostlogin 9y agoThe storage offering was way way less than that when everyone here signed up, though it was still vastly greater than anything anyone else offered if memory serves.
- late2part 9y agoAgreed. I sort of figure that increase is due to bandwidth inflation and decreasing unit costs.
- pferde 9y agoVastly indeed. There were even (one or two) pseudo-filesystems which used a Gmail account as a backend, because, hey, a free gigabyte! I vaguely remember Google had to put their foot down to disallow such use, that's how popular those filesystems became. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GmailFS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GmailFS
- late2part 9y agoYou're right. And my reponse is weak. But.... That's really meant to discourage those "power" users (like me) from abusing and leaving big stuff in there, I think. It's not meant to encourage most people to pay.
