Storage is getting cheaper nowadays. When introducing Gmail, Google estimated that cost of maintining a 1GB space is $2 per year. Probably the cost would have reduced now and I think that is the reason they provide 2GB space for Gmail users now. It will be difficult for the user to remember the file locations if they have a bigger capacity hard disk. Desktop search and meta data comes into picture here. Thats why desktop search is hot.
