Life gets easier when Google Apps products work well together - From inserting a Google Drive file into an email or sharing documents and photos from Drive on Google+. As the experience becomes seamless, separate storage doesn't make as much sense. So in the coming weeks, Google Apps will get 30GB of unified storage to use however you want between Drive and Gmail. As before, files created in Docs, documents, spreadsheets and presentations, do not count towards the storage limit.
Storage will also be shared with photos you upload to Google+ larger than 2048px.

As a result, Gmail inboxes for Google Apps for Business customers are no longer limited to 25 GB - any additional storage you purchase can be shared and used by Gmail. Or, if you are only using a few gigabytes of email storage, but have a lot of large documents and files stored in Google Drive, you can now use your storage primarily for Drive.

This update will be rolled out to quick release domains in the coming weeks.
