Google Tests Reduced Gmail Storage for New Users

Google is experimenting with a new storage policy affecting new Gmail accounts in certain regions. Specifically, users who do not add a phone number at sign-up are offered only 5GB of free storage instead of the usual 15GB. Google states this is part of a security and data recovery incentive, not a permanent change, and the support page confirms that the standard free storage remains 15GB. The move aims to encourage account security and prevent spam, and it's currently unclear if this is a nationwide rollout or a regional A/B test.
