Before Gmail, my old Hotmail account had a whopping 2MB of storage, and others were similarly small. Gmail was a few GB right from the start, forcing the rest to compete and offer more storage.

Yahoo was something like a whopping 10 or 15MB. Gmail debuting with 1GB of space was a nearly 1000 fold increase at the time.
