Google is testing a 5GB free storage limit for new Gmail accounts unless users add a phone number to unlock the full 15GB.

    Imagine how much of Earth’s storage space is marketing emails that no one reads.

    THATS THE ONLY REASON PEOPLE STILL USE GMAIL! Proton Mail has 1 free gb, I didn’t use it when I had the free plan.

      “You used 80% of your free 15GB, upgrade for more storage. Only $9.99/mo… I mean 5.99/month.”

      “Wait it’s $0.36/month for 3 months.”

      “No email for you cause you used all 15G. Pay up.”

      Paraphrase from tactics that they are trying for me to sign up. Heck never.

    Gee, would’ve been a shame if Google’s employees go on strike and would start their own company.

      Yes, unless you read into the missinfo campaings. They will follow your local laws, but you can control how much info they have on you.
