What percentage of your Gmail space are you using?

[Jonathan_Chance]

It’s funny but my gmail has been at about 65% for several YEARS. And I know stuff is accumulating. 4992MB of 7604MB.

Um, you guys know about Archiving your emails right? They are stored and searchable, but don’t take up your active space.

I have 11% full but I probably have thousands of emails with work files, pictures, videos etc archived.

I’m pretty sure you’re wrong about that. Archived emails still count towards your storage limit.

Jonathan Chance - they keep adding storage, so I guess it’s just keeping pace with your new mail.

There’s really no reason to delete e-mails in this day and age; they take up so little space. Never know when it might be handy to search for something from an old correspondence. The only things I delete are spammy stuff that gets by the filter and transaction notification-type mails.

10%, and now I don’t feel like such a packrat about having 770 MB of stuff (I’ve also backed up many MP3’s that I can’t replace, many photos, and important documents).

Hmph, looks like you’re right. I could have sworn when I first started using Gmail, it said the Archived messages didn’t count. Well I’ve used less than I though over the years. Only 800MB or so.

Aren’t invites just a relic from the Beta days when you could only get an account with an inviation, though? These days, anyone can sign up, right?

AFAIK you are correct. I’m not sure why it still has invites, or if it does, why there is a limit.

[GusNSpot]

10%

[Cinnamon_Imp]

7% and 50 invites left! I keep real mail, but delete Facebook notifications, non-spam marketing emails, etc…

[Rhiannon8404]

7% I delete a lot of stuff

[Bamboo_Boy]

47%! Do I win something? Wiffle ball bat?

[BigT]

Still 1%. It went up to 2% for a little while, but the storage has increased since then. Text files just don’t take up much space.

[KneadToKnow]

16%

[kaylasdad99]

9% And I still think I should remove all of the emails I’m not ever going to read.

11%

97% and have to clean out stuff every week… I get and send tons of photos, pdfs, graphics files, etc and as much as I try to keep up with cleaning it out, a lot of it ends up being needed and it’s the best way to have a searchable database. Gotta go clean some more out.

You can pay a small amount to increase storage - $5 per year for an additional 20 GB.

It increases your limit for all of your google stuff, such as Picasa web albums.

Yes, thanks. Unfortunately, because of my job, it will just continue to fill up. I just have to be vigilant in deleting.
