Storage and carbon footprint
Under Settings → Storage you can see how much of your storage space you've used, and how small a carbon footprint your data leaves.
How much space have you used?
The bar under STORAGE (EMAIL, FILES AND DOCUMENTS) shows:
- How much of your quota you've used — as a number (e.g. 2.3 GB / 5 GB) and as a progress bar
- A breakdown: Files and documents and Email separately
The quota is shared across email, files, and documents:
| Plan | Storage |
|---|---|
| Free | 5 GB |
| Plus | 50 GB |
| Pro | 150 GB |

Carbon footprint
In the Carbon footprint section you can see the estimated CO₂ per year for your data.
Norwegian electricity has a very low carbon footprint per kWh, which makes the storage footprint per GB extremely low on onmeil.eu — significantly lower than for services that run on fossil fuels or a mix of sources.
The "equivalent to" block
The number is compared to everyday activities to make it easier to grasp:
- The number of Google searches with an equivalent footprint
- The number of minutes of an LED bulb with an equivalent footprint
- The number of minutes of Netflix HD
- The number of hours of a refrigerator
Compared to other services
We also show how much CO₂ the same amount of data would emit at:
- onmeil.eu (Norwegian hydropower)
- Hotmail / Outlook (Azure EU + global)
- Gmail (Google global, location-based)

The data source
The figures are estimates based on publicly available data about where and how the various services are operated. They are not measured values — they give a useful basis for comparison.
