SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Google Inc., which took the first shot in the free e-mail storage battle with the release of its Gmail product last year, said on Thursday it is doubling free storage to 2 gigabytes shortly after Yahoo Inc. matched its original offer.
Google (Nasdaq:GOOG - news) said the increase will not be the last from the company, which intends to make further free storage increases on its Web e-mail system as user needs expand.
"We plan on continuing this increase for the foreseeable future," said Georges Harik, product management director for Gmail.
Harik said that "less than a few percent" of Gmail users are bumping up against the 1 gigabyte limit.
"We're doing it to anticipate what our users needs are and their needs grow over time," he said.............
