We've significantly increased the storage on all our pricing plans at the same price, giving you more room for email without changing what you pay. That means more space across the board, including 50 GB per user on our paid email plans with unlimited sending, and up to 200 GB per user on higher tiers as listed on our pricing page.
If your inbox has ever filled up at the wrong time, you know how annoying email storage limits can be. You stop thinking about messages and start thinking about cleanup. Old attachments, invoices, receipts, project threads, and search history all become something you feel forced to manage.
We want email to feel simpler than that. More storage means you can keep the messages you need, search older conversations when something comes up, and spend less time deciding what to delete.

More Storage For Everyone At No Extra Cost
You open your inbox to find an old receipt, a client thread from last year, or the signed document someone suddenly needs. In a small mailbox, that routine task often turns into cleanup first. You delete attachments, download mail to your computer, or keep less history than you want.
We want email to work more like a filing cabinet you can trust. The message should still be there when you need it, and keeping it should not cost extra just because your account has matured over time.
That is why we increased storage across our paid plans without raising prices. You can see the current plan details on our email pricing and storage page. The practical benefit is simple: more room for mail, attachments, and long-term history inside your account.
More space helps in ordinary, not exotic, situations:
Personal use: Keep receipts, travel bookings, school emails, and family documents together instead of constantly trimming your inbox.
Small business use: Hold onto quotes, invoices, attachments, and customer conversations without treating email like temporary storage.
Team use: Keep shared context longer, so older decisions and discussions are still searchable when someone needs them.
A mailbox is not only storage. It is memory. Search works best when the record is still there.
This update also reflects how we run Typewire. Because we operate our own private infrastructure, we are not trying to squeeze value out of your data through ads or data mining. More storage is part of the same goal as private email itself: giving you enough room to keep your information under your control, in a service built around subscription support rather than surveillance.
So the change is bigger than a capacity increase on a plan chart. It means less forced cleanup, fewer reasons to move sensitive mail elsewhere, and more confidence that your history can stay in one private place.
Your New Storage Limits Explained
A storage increase only helps if it changes daily use. The clearer way to read this update is by asking a simple question: how much room does each plan give you before email starts feeling cramped?
If you want to compare the current options directly, the Typewire pricing and storage plans show the full plan lineup in one place.
What changed by plan
Here is the side by side view.
| Plan | Previous storage | New storage |
|---|---|---|
| Starter | 500 MB | 2 GB |
| Basic | 20 GB | 50 GB |
| Family | 20 GB per user | 50 GB per user |
| Premium | 50 GB per user | 200 GB per user |
The pattern is simple. Every paid plan gets more breathing room, and the higher-volume plans get enough space for much longer email history.
Premium sees the biggest jump. That matters if your account holds years of conversations, frequent attachments, or several inboxes under one domain. More headroom means less routine cleanup and fewer moments where you have to decide what to delete.
Basic and Family benefit in a different way. These plans are often used by people who want private email to work like normal email should. Messages stay searchable, attachments stay available, and one full mailbox is less likely to become a constant maintenance task.
What those limits mean in practice
Storage works a lot like filing cabinets. A small one can hold the basics, but once it fills up, every new document creates friction. A larger one does not just hold more. It lets you keep things organized and reachable when you need them.
Starter at 2 GB: Better suited to light personal use, such as receipts, account alerts, and a modest archive of documents.
Basic at 50 GB: Gives a custom-domain user enough room for everyday attachments and a longer searchable record.
Family at 50 GB per user: Keeps storage fair and predictable because each person has their own allowance.
Premium at 200 GB per user: Fits heavier use, including long-running client threads, larger attachments, and mail you need to retain instead of offloading elsewhere.
More storage also supports something larger than convenience. If your mailbox fills up too quickly, the usual workaround is to spread sensitive messages across other apps, local exports, or extra accounts. A larger private mailbox helps you keep more of that history in one place under the same privacy model, which is a better fit for Typewire's goal of giving you control over your data rather than turning it into a product.
How Our Private Infrastructure Makes This Possible
If your email provider rents key parts of its stack from someone else, every extra gigabyte becomes a line item that shapes product decisions. We built Typewire differently. Because we operate our own infrastructure, we can increase storage in a way that stays aligned with privacy, pricing, and long-term control.
Why owning infrastructure changes pricing decisions
Infrastructure works a lot like owning a workshop instead of renting one by the hour. If every shelf, tool, and square foot carries a separate usage charge, you design around those fees. If you control the space yourself, you have more freedom to design around what users need.
That difference matters for email storage. Providers that depend heavily on third-party cloud billing often have to treat storage as a strict cost control problem. That can lead to tighter quotas, more complicated plan splits, or pressure to make up the economics elsewhere.
Our model is simpler. We run the service on private infrastructure, so storage can be part of the subscription itself instead of a constant compromise between user needs and outside platform costs. That also supports the kind of business we want to run: paid by customers, not funded by tracking, advertising, or profiling.

What this changes for you
The practical benefit is not only "more room." It is more control over how the service is built.
Because we control the underlying environment, we can make storage decisions with privacy in mind from the start. We do not need to fit your mailbox into someone else's business model. We can tune the service for private email use, retain a clearer line of responsibility for your data, and avoid incentives that push providers toward data extraction.
That is the broader point behind this increase. More storage is possible because the infrastructure is ours. And because the infrastructure is ours, the extra space supports the same mission as the rest of Typewire: keeping your email private, keeping your data under clearer jurisdictional control, and giving you a service that works for you instead of studying you.
What More Storage Means For Your Privacy
Storage and privacy are closely connected. If your mailbox is too small, you end up moving mail elsewhere, deleting records early, or splitting your history across devices and exports. That can make retention harder to manage and reduce your control over where information lives.
Privacy features need room to work
This point often gets missed. More storage isn't only a comfort feature. It also supports the way privacy-focused email works behind the scenes.
Our verified product guidance states that increased storage is a functional enabler for privacy features such as full-text search and spy pixel blocking, because those features depend on on-disk indexing. The same guidance says our privately owned infrastructure in Vancouver supports custom storage scaling for these zero-tracking protocols and aligns with PIPEDA requirements in the federal privacy framework.
That matters if you care about practical privacy, not just branding language. Searchable mail, filtering, message history, and tracking protection all work better when the system has enough room to retain and process what you choose to keep.
Paying for storage changes the incentive model
Free email usually comes with a different business model. We think it's better to be direct about that. A paid service earns revenue from subscriptions, not from trying to turn your inbox into an advertising asset.
That doesn't make every free provider bad. Some are useful and some have strong privacy goals. But a subscription model gives us a cleaner incentive structure. You pay for the service, and our job is to provide storage, sending, filtering, and privacy controls that are worth paying for.
Three practical privacy outcomes come from larger storage:
Longer retention inside one system: You can keep more messages where they belong instead of scattering exports across devices.
Better continuity: Full-text search and mailbox history stay useful because older mail remains available.
Less pressure to compromise: You don't need to move sensitive mail into less suitable tools just to free space.
The privacy benefit of more storage is simple. You keep more of your own history under rules you understand, in a service you're paying to run for you.
How to Check and Manage Your Storage
You log in to find an old contract, a customer approval, or a receipt from months ago. The message is there, but the better habit is knowing how much space you have left before storage becomes a problem.
A simple way to review your account
Checking your storage only takes a minute inside your mailbox settings. You are looking for one thing first: how close your current usage is to your plan limit.
A simple routine works well:
Sign in to your mailbox. Open your account settings from the main interface.
Find your storage usage. Look for the area that shows mailbox size or account usage.
Scan the biggest folders. Sent mail, attachments, and archived conversations usually use the most space.
Choose the right action. Keep important mail, delete what no longer matters, or archive messages you may need later.
For a personal account, that may be enough.
For a business mailbox, storage management is usually tied to record keeping. If email includes approvals, invoices, support history, or customer data, decide what should stay in the mailbox, what should be archived, and who should have access. That is one reason larger storage can reduce migration friction and make retention planning easier when an organization needs to understand where personal information is stored and who can access it, as discussed in this storage planning discussion.
When an upgrade makes sense
Repeated cleanup is often a sign that your mailbox is doing real work. If you regularly need older threads to answer customers, confirm decisions, or keep records together, a larger plan can be simpler than trimming folders every few weeks.
Archiving helps too. Our guide to secure email archiving and privacy tips explains how to save messages in a way that stays organized and privacy-conscious.
The practical question is simple. Does your mailbox have enough room to hold your working history safely, in one place, under your control?
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this storage increase change my price
No. This update is about giving you more value in the plan you already use. The announcement brief for this post is based on increased storage at the same price for new and existing customers.
Do I need to enable anything
No. The increase is automatic. You don't need to migrate mail, change settings, or open a support request just to receive the higher limit tied to your plan.
Is more storage just about convenience
No. Convenience is part of it, but not all of it. A larger mailbox also supports retention, search, and privacy-focused handling of older messages, especially when email is part of your records or daily operations.
How should I compare this with other email providers
Look beyond the headline mailbox number. Storage can look cheap until extra conditions appear. Public pricing discussions in storage services point to hidden costs such as bandwidth charges, minimum object-size billing, and retention-period fees, which is why straightforward pricing matters when you compare plans in Storj's tiered pricing explanation.
If you're comparing services, ask four plain questions:
Where is my data stored
Who operates the infrastructure
What limits apply to sending and retention
Are there hidden policy or pricing tradeoffs later
That's the frame we think is most useful when you read that Typewire increases storage for pricing plans. More space is good. More space inside a clear subscription model is better.
