Google Triples Free Storage To 15GB

Life gets a bit easier when your Google products work well together—whether that’s inserting a Drive file into an email or sharing a photo from Drive on Google+. As this experience becomes more seamless, separate storage doesn’t make as much sense anymore. So instead of having 10 GB for Gmail and another 5 GB for Drive and Google+ Photos, you’ll now get 15 GB of unified storage for free to use as you like between Drive, Gmail, and Google+ Photos.

As this experience becomes more seamless, separate storage that we can't monitor for marketing purposes and/or provide to prying organizations to access without a warrant doesn’t make as much sense anymore.

Does anyone know how this affects Google Apps free users?

Right now, when we try to buy storage, it only applies to Drive. It does not add to GMail at all. Is this changing? Or has Google forgotten about us since they discontinued Google Apps free?

Life gets a bit easier when your Google Apps products work well together -- whether that’s inserting a Drive file into an email or sharing Docs and photos from Drive on Google+. As that experience becomes seamless, having separate storage doesn’t make as much sense anymore. So over the coming weeks, you’ll get 30 GB of unified storage to use as you like between Drive and Gmail. Just as before, files created in Docs, Sheets and Slides don't count against your storage quota. Storage will also be shared with photos you upload to Google+ larger than 2048px.

I haven't seen any updates regarding Google Apps Free for this. I still have 10.1GB space in Google Apps Mail.

They don't make a differentiation in their statement, so I guess good luck and hope you get rolled in as well

There's still a file size limit right?

I can't dump a whole movie up there?

If there is, it makes it worse than things like Box which gives 50 free GB.

you can of course just separate it into pieces with .RAR.
