Gmail Storage Space = Only 42 GB by 2038

​

As we all can see at Gmail Homepage, Storage Space is constantly increasing! But if you look at the Page Source of Gmail, you will find code for Gmail Space Estimation for upcoming Years (as shown by above Image).

With respect to above Code Gmail will offer 42 GB by 2038 and 2.70266701 × 1072 TB by 1/2/3456 - Who will be alive here???

So forget about Unlimited Storage Space in Gmail for Now!

dear Mr-in-tech, how many of the persons are using even 1gb of storage...

When it comes to 2038. Every one would have their own space on their own private servers. Well, if we survive 21/12/2012.:))

I just found the Coding Interesting and thought of sharing it here ;-)

@rhitwick

Gdrive or Google Drive will of course take some time and I am sure when it will launch everyone might get Unlimited Storage for almost all Google Services (Gmail, Picasa etc.)

And Regarding posting too late.... I am less active now a days :grin:

@Mr.Intech :p

Although you did raise a valid issue, would you really think that Google would allow Gmail to still remain "limited" storage? atleast even in 2038? :???:
Just a thought :D

^ Neither do I. But was forced to believe... Actually it is not that bad. It's a good idea to spread chaos around the people.

actually the yahoo server also counts on a vast amount of users using low storage so that some can use large storage... ( at least i thnk so.. hehehe)
