Similar to last year's deal, except you get the space immediately :)
Remember to click "Continue to account settings" after completing the check to get the credits. Thanks scubacoles for the tip!
You gotta be kidding me. Google drive is infinitely more useful than a USB stick. The fact that it can synchronize to all your devices seamlessly, collaborate in others in real time and be used for sharing anything and everything over the internet makes a USB stick look a bit primitive. I hate dealing with USB sticks nowadays - Google Drive is so much simpler.

I can't even see the 4th digit. I can only see 103 then a squiggle where the plus and whatever number it is, is combined.
I think I suggested a feature once where the number be truncated to something like 1k+ (or 1.2k for greater accuracy) if it goes over, but I guess it wasn't accepted.
Argh hasn't been worth it. I can't access Gmail through 'Mail' on my macbook anymore…
Use the web interface, the stock mail app isn't too great with Gmail anyway (you lose a lot of Gmail specific features and contacts don't sync for example).
Thank you! First time I heard about this free gb , I always struggle with just 15 gb
Strange, I have 20GB after this upgrade. Most have 19GB or >22GB.
Mine includes a "1GB Paid Bonus" but I certainly never paid for anything. Oh well, all good.
