How Long Will It Take For Gmail To Reach 10GB Of Storage?

by sheltron on 30 March 2010

Did you notice that last year the rate of increase on the Gmail homepage slowed considerably?

In fact, the current rate increases storage by just 4 bytes per second which is only 345.6 Kb per day. Equivalent to one unoptimised photo from your digital camera.

So how long will it take for online storage to grow from today’s 7.3GB to 10GB?

  • 4 bytes per second growth
  • 7438.721503: Current MB
  • 7438721503: Current bytes
  • 10000: Target MB
  • 10000000000: Target bytes
  • 2561278497: Shortfall in bytes
  • 640319624.3: Seconds to get there
  • 7411.106762: Days
  • 20.30440209: Years

20 more years until Gmail online storage grows to 10GB!

I guess they are creating pressure to pay a monthly fee for more storage?

and Google’s storage extensions prices are extremely cheap! I was blown away when I saw that it was just $5/year for a whole 20GB of cloud space!

5/year for one roomyass cloud!
