Google never had unlimited email space. They launched at 1GB (which seemed huge) and increased it over the years, but it was never unlimited.

- codeulike 3y agoThey marketed it at the time as being "unlimited", which at the time was a reasonably fair description
- callalex 3y agoCan you point to any archived material with that claim? Many of us have been around to remember everything from that time period, and they never made such a claim in my memory. When Gmail launched there was a very prominent bar graph at the bottom of every page that told you how much storage you were using and how much was available.
- codeulike 3y agoI was around at that time and I definitely remember the 'unlimited' phrase in the press. I'm sure youre also correct about the bar graph though. Although as I remember it they kept lifting the ceiling of that bar graph faster than anyone could fill it up
