Gmail's Upping the space!

**DumberDrummer** · 04-01-2005, 07:23 AM

Don't know how long this has been going on, since I usually log in through a third party application.

But it seems that I have 1345 mb as of this writing. And its going up.

**superflysmith** · 04-01-2005, 07:58 AM

I saw a post similiar to this in the news section. At that time which was five minutes ago I was at 1359MB. I am now at 1365MB.

Awesome! Using gMail as a drive letter could actually work...especially if they find a way to split the files with winrar and recombine them automatically.

**superflysmith** · 04-01-2005, 09:12 AM

1407MB and still climbing!!!
I also like that they've finally added color to the text and a few new fonts along with a few other extras.

**DumberDrummer** · 04-01-2005, 12:17 PM

The javascript reaches 2000 at midnight Eastern, I believe.

The whole "infinity +1 is an April Fools thing. They actually only doubled it to two gigs. The timer will most likely run out after 2 gigs. Check the "New Features" link in your gmail account for more info.

Does anybody want to help me test a gmail account to see if it really can hold 1000 (or 2000) mb?

hey your copying my post from the news room

**superflysmith** · 04-02-2005, 01:23 PM

I thought we were suppose to get 1 more GB. I just checked my account and I have a total of 2051MB. I guess they wanted to give out some bonus space.

**40sondacurb** · 04-02-2005, 02:10 PM

googles great!

I sent them an e-mail and actualy got a reponse related to what I emailed them about, they actualy read it!

I got 2051 too fly, sorry man your not special any more

and I actualy aam using the archive thing, I get notifacations of when blockbuster sends me a movie and when they recieve them back, and if they ever screw something up, I can just go to my archives and shove it in their face!

google

**DumberDrummer** · 04-02-2005, 07:35 PM

2051 is two gigs.

1024 bytes= 1 kb
1024 kb = 1 mb
1024 mb=1 gb times 2 =2048

So 2051 is actually much closer than 2000 in terms of "two gigs"

**superflysmith** · 04-02-2005, 08:06 PM

DD I see your right. We are only slightly over two gigs. But it's still growing albiet at a much slower rate than yesterday. Right now it is at 2052.328xxx. So does anyone know when it'll stop growing or will it just continue to get bigger forever?

**DumberDrummer** · 04-02-2005, 08:12 PM

If you hit view source on the main page, you get this little javascript variable

var CP = [
[ 1112331600000, 1025 ],
[ 1112439600000, 2050 ],
[ 1113062400000, 2075 ]
];

The long numbers are times. I have no idea how to translate them though.

HJ-Split is a great app for that.

**DumberDrummer** · 04-02-2005, 10:12 PM

I wonder how long before someone figures out how to convert the Gmail drive shell into use for hosting purposes. Wouldn't be too difficult.

Volt-Schwibe · 04-03-2005, 12:38 AM

winzip has spanning support.

that's what i've been using.

**norin** · 04-06-2005, 08:33 AM

Drumer i would love to help you see what the TRUE capactity is. PM me on how we will accomplish this. ooo this will be soooo awesome.

i havn't been on gmail for some time. do you know if they have uped the transfer file size any? that would make things much easier.

probably, I would imagine it to be around 20 or 30mb like hotmails 2 gig service (which cost $20 a year).

**norin** · 04-06-2005, 12:09 PM

check this out... it has an actual counter showing you the rate it is increasing!
