When will Gmail reach 5GB?

Gmail advertises:

  • Don't throw anything away.
    Over 2750.162469 megabytes (and counting) of free storage so you'll never need to delete another message.

...and their megabyte counter grows continuously.  But when will Gmail reach Webmail.us's 5GB?

Well, Gmail's current growth rate is 0.4 MB per day.  That means Gmail will reach the 5GB milestone in 5,925 days -- October 21, 2022.

But.. Gmail is free, and Webmail.us with 5GB storage certainly isn't.

Yes. But Gmail's megabyte counter marketing gimmick makes people think that their Gmail storage will grow infinitely and never run out, when in fact it is growing at a snails pace.

It is very smart marketing. And my point is that's all it is.
