It's a modern network with everything in it. That should already be
implemented somehow. If not directly, then file compression should do
the job.
Yes, I'm somehow sure they are already doing it.
If google thinks he's the center of the world, OK, let us all register
for 2GB and fill it with bulk. Man at this rate I wont buy new HDDs,
I'll install my OS onto google and run it from there lol :]
They block user accounts for that. You can only use
gmail for average email-related workflows, which
imply 90% of easily-compressible data. They have
plenty of space to store that.
