Gmail Storage Continues to Creep Up

Slowly but surely, Google has honored its promise to take Gmail storage beyond 2 GB. As of Monday morning, Gmail users found 2057MB of e-mail capacity, and the number continues to march upwards according to a counter on the free Web mail service's homepage.

Google heralded 2GB of storage on Friday, exactly one year after the service initially launched, saying it doesn't want people to worry they will run out of space. Gmail remains in beta, but an abundance of available invites and random signup links on Google's homepage have already opened the door for nearly everyone.
