Finally, the option to buy more space on GMail!

Wednesday, August 15th, 2007

For months now I’ve been erasing all sorts of files from GMail as I neared my storage limit (right now above 88% despite all those deletions) so I was very happy to see that the company has finally rolled out a paid version. The jump between 6GB for $20 and 25GB for $75 (annual fees) seems a bit abrupt, but 6GB should last a while. (Yeah, I know, famous last words.)
