Hopefully google will add Gdrive sometime soon. I used to use hotmail, but I stopped when they disabled POP access (I may be mistaken, but I'm pretty sure they wanted you to pay to have POP access at one point in time). Now I mostly use gmail. I save my hotmail address for college stuff now. It seems that I got removed off of a lot of spam lists for the time I didn't use hotmail. I just noticed it today.

You are correct Taylor - once logged in you see "<em>Mailbox usage: x% of 5 GB</em>". Their login page just has not caught up. But I do agree with you about gmail, as I find it much more intuitive.
