Given that Gmail does not have, and never has had, infinite free storage it seems quite hard for it to follow the same path... It's already there.

Specifically, Gmail had 1GB quota at launch. These days you have 15GB combined across Drive, Gmail and Photos for free, and paid plans if you need more space.

Back in the day Gmail was growing its free space nonstop. No longer.

Didn’t they use to have a counter on the home page telling you how many millions of megabytes were still available for gmail storage?
