Gmail became the most used email in the world
Gmail’s success is driven by the good performance of the tool and the integration of a large number of improvements that make it more personal inbox email. In addition, the proliferation of new services embedded in the own Google (Calendar, Google Docs, Picasa, Drive, etc.) has led to the loyalty of users who in turn have integrated these tools into their new devices (tablets and smartphones) for use anywhere and with good performance guarantees.
