  @Jungkrystalfx3 hi, I think you can still view/watch it if you sign in to your Gmail account. or if you can't sign in you can just download the file first to your laptop/device. let me know if it still doesn't work

  @brave Block sponsored ads I haven't subscribed to in Gmail on mobile without breaking other websites functionality due to using Brave's aggressive ad-blocking feature. Disabling the Promotions tab setting in Gmail only moves the problem elsewhere.

  @Alonso_Ondem @Khalyfa7_ Most institutions use Gmails as the provider. These mails have accounts like the way your gmail address is associated to your google account. Use the credentials of the mail to login and enjoy unlimited google drive storage. May be different for your institution.

  Your Gmail storage is “full” again. You deleted emails. Cleared spam. Removed attachments. Still full. Because Gmail keeps hidden storage hogs most people never check. I freed 18GB without deleting a single important email. Here’s where Google hides the real junk: 👇 1. Google Photos backups Open Most people have years of blurry videos eating space. 2. Gmail’s giant hidden files Search this in Gmail: "has:attachment larger:10M" You’ll instantly find massive files you forgot existed. 3. Google Drive trash Drive trash still counts toward storage until it’s emptied. Go to: 4. Backup files from old phones Android backups can silently use several GB. Check them here: 5. Shared files you don’t own Huge shared files still appear in your Drive and confuse storage usage. 6. Promotional emails with attachments Search: "category:promotions has:attachment" Delete hundreds at once. 7. Hidden app data Old apps connected to Google can store backup junk forever. Review here: Do this once a month and Gmail storage problems disappear.

  @ShawnNotMendes_ @yankeeplug_ @shredwithQpid I get you. A new gmail account should solve this issue especially if it keeps happening despite changing phones.

  this is why having a #google account for personal things could be a problem,as you can lose access to it unfairly with no way to talk to a human to fix that lunatic AI. I lost access to one Gmail where I had psn,I had to call humans from Sony to force change mail to the account

  Has Gmail gone down? I haven’t got the “news about your ticket” email from the lottery telling me I’ve won the £90,000,000 euromillions and I don’t see how that’s possible.

  My Gmail shows my name as “Calyn” instead of “Callyn”. I’ve done everything in my power to correct it, but it still reverts back after 24 hours! 😤 Any idea how to fix this permanently? It’s driving me nuts and very confusing for brands!

  @so_sthbryan @so_sthbryan Self-hosted n8n is great for cost but it gets sketchy fast with AI workflows. Your OAuth tokens sit in the same sandbox as user-authored JavaScript, so one bad npm package and your Gmail creds are just gone. We learned this the hard way and now run everything with credential isolation where a human approves from their phone and the AI executes in a locked-down container. Most founders don't even think about this until their Stripe API key shows up somewhere it shouldn't. Are you running any AI agents through n8n right now without isolating credentials?

  Mr Izrael 👑 (@Mr_Izrael) reported 39 minutes ago

  HAVE YOU NOTICED ANY CHANGES WITH NEW GMAIL ACCOUNTS YOU’VE CREATED RECENTLY? Google is quietly testing a smaller storage limit for new Gmail accounts by trialing a 5GB storage cap for new sign-ups, down from the usual 15GB. To unlock the full 15GB, new users are required to add a phone number to their account. This change is only affecting new accounts in select regions (mostly reported in parts of Africa so far). Existing Gmail accounts remain unaffected and will continue to have the standard 15 GB storage limit. Why is Google doing this? There are two main reasons behind this move: 1. Security & Account Recovery Google wants more users to add phone numbers for better account protection and easier recovery. This has been a long-standing push, and tying storage to phone verification is a clever way to incentivize it. 2. Reducing Storage Abuse Many people create multiple Gmail accounts primarily to get more free cloud storage. By lowering the default storage for unverified accounts, Google is making it less attractive to create throwaway accounts just for storage. This move reflects a broader trend across big tech, free tiers are gradually getting tighter. Google (like many other platforms) is finding ways to: 1. Collect more user data (phone numbers) 2. Reduce abuse of free services Push users toward paid storage (Google One) over time While existing users are safe for now, this test suggests that Google may continue exploring ways to make the free experience slightly less generous for new users. So, for most of you who already have a Gmail account, you’re fine. Your 15GB isn’t going anywhere. If you’re creating new accounts, you may only get 5GB unless you verify with a phone number. This is currently a test, but if successful, it could roll out more widely. Big tech companies are slowly reshaping what “free” actually means. Storage, reach, and features that were once freely available are increasingly being used as leverage to collect more data or drive users toward paid plans.

  Samsung One UI (@SamNewsDaily) reported 41 minutes ago

  Samsung One UI 8.5 Dark Mode Bug is Ruining Google Apps on Galaxy Phones If you updated to the new One UI 8.5 (stable version rolled out mid-May 2026), you might have noticed something off in Google apps. Here's exactly what's happening: Dark mode in Gmail, Google Messages, Google Keep, Google Fi, and others is broken. Instead of true deep black backgrounds, everything is now a washed-out light gray. The contrast looks ugly, text is hard to read in some places, and the whole interface feels high-contrast and off. It's not just one app, multiple Google apps are affected. The bug started right after the stable One UI 8.5 update hit S-series, Z Fold/Flip, and A-series devices. This looks like a conflict between Samsung's theming system and Google's Material You design. Samsung's dark mode used to be excellent, now it's inconsistent and frustrating. Many users are reporting the same issue on Reddit and Samsung Community forums, but Samsung hasn't officially acknowledged the bug yet or given a fix timeline. What you can do: Report it in the Samsung Members app → Get Help → Send Feedback Clear cache/data for the affected Google apps (temporary workaround for some) Stay on the latest updates and watch for a patch Anyone else seeing this?

  94% delivered can still mean almost nobody saw it. That’s the scammy part of outbound dashboards. People spend months rewriting copy for a room they never entered. One Return-Path mismatch, DMARC on p=none, one tracked link pushing Gmail to Promotions—reply rate went 1.2% → 4%. Same copy. Most "messaging problems" are infrastructure problems wearing a KPI.

  this is wild. someone open sourced the integrations layer every saas company has been renting for $50k a year. it’s called nango. 700+ apis. salesforce, hubspot, slack, notion, gmail, github, stripe, jira, linear. oauth. token refresh. rate limits. retries. handled. the thing unified api companies charge $40k to $100k a year for is just… on github. what it does: → managed oauth for 700+ apis → one proxy call to auth to any api → write typescript integrations and deploy them → built in retries, rate limits, per-tenant isolation → works with claude code, cursor, codex, mcp, langchain → self hostable → soc2, hipaa, gdpr the pitch that should make founders uncomfortable: “sync github issues to my db every 5 minutes.” it writes the typescript. you read it. you edit it. you ship it. not a black box. readable code you own. one note: elastic license, not mit. self-host + commercial use is fine. you just can’t resell it as a competing service. link in first comment.

  Google just launched Gemini Spark. A personal AI agent that runs 24/7 on Google Cloud infrastructure. It keeps working after you close your laptop. Here's how it actually works. Spark connects to your Gmail, calendar, docs, and sheets. You give it a task. It breaks that task into steps. It works through each step autonomously. It only pauses to ask you when it hits a high-risk action. Like sending an email or updating a document. Google showed a live demo during the keynote. A salesperson asked Spark to prepare for a client meeting. Spark went into Salesforce, pulled the full account history. Checked support tickets for recent issues. Identified a risk in the data. Drafted a retention strategy in Docs. Wrote a client email ready for review. The person just showed up, read what Spark built, and pressed send. Zero prep work. Just results. Now map that to your own business. Spark monitors your channel analytics overnight. If a video underperforms in the first 3 hours, it flags it. Pulls the data. Drafts a thumbnail and title split test. Your team wakes up to a fix already in progress. The gap between reacting and acting is now measured in hours, not days. What's the first task you'd hand off to an agent that never sleeps?

  @garrytan Yep. Gmail message actions on iOS don’t even stick on the server when I go to the web app… Drive on macOS is a disaster, tbh. I’ve applied there before to help them out, but nobody ever calls me back. And half their jobs that I’d want are only in Canada and Mexico, so…
