Who owns Gmail?
Google developer Paul Buchheit, Who develop Gmail, had already explored the idea of web-based email in the 1990s, before the launch of Hotmail, while working on a personal email software project as a college student. Buchheit began his work on Gmail in August 2001. At Google, Buchheit had first worked on Google Groups and when asked “to build some type of email or personalization product”, he created the first version of Gmail in one day, reusing the code from Google Groups.
At its launch in 2004, Gmail provided a storage capacity of one gigabyte per user, which was significantly higher than its competitors offered at the time. Today, the service comes with 15 gigabytes of storage. Users can receive emails up to 50 megabytes in size, including attachments, while they can send emails up to 25 megabytes. To send larger files, users can insert files from Google Drive into the message.
