- crumpets 7y agoYeah, the change to 100 or 200mb came as a desperate attempt later to stop the gmail hemorrhage.
- tigershark 7y agoI kind of remember that was something like 10 or 20MB, but yes, was about 2 order of magnitude less.
- acqq 7y agoNo. It was 1 GB: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Gmail https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Gmail "after considering alternatives such as 100 MB, the company finally settled upon 1 GB of space, a figure that was preposterous compared to the 2 to 4 MB that was the standard at the time.[3]" "On 1 April 2005, exactly one year after the initial release, Gmail increased the mailbox size to 2 GB, advertising it as 2GB plus" The sample of the news from these times: https://betanews.com/2005/04/01/gmail-storage-to-reach-2gb-and-beyond/ https://betanews.com/2005/04/01/gmail-storage-to-reach-2gb-a...
