Finally, somebody being smart enough to give unlimited storage. One of the primary reasons gmail took off was unlimited storage, at a time when people were very space conscious and had to keep deleting emails.

Gmail didn't have unlimited storage at launch; it gave 1GB of storage, which back then felt like unlimited (relative to Yahoo's 50MB limit, anyways).

OneDrive had a 1TB limit before this announcement, which isn't as dramatic of a comparison.

But when it was released the marketing message was that the storage on Gmail was "infinity +1" since you get 1GB to start and the storage would grow slowly forever, thus infinity.

Bitcasa already did this, but they revoked the offer last week after offering it for two years, due to abuse:
