WordPress.com increased the free file storage for the blogs hosted at wordpress.com from 50MB to 3GB. Now users can upload up to 3GB of images, documents, movies and more without having to worry about how many kilobytes are left in their upload space.

To get half that much space (1GB) at our nearest competitor, Typepad, you’d pay at least $300 a year. Blogger only gives you 1GB. We’re doing the same thing for free. – Matt Mullenweg

If you want extra space to upload movies or MP3’s you can upgrade to 5GB for $20/year, 15GB for $50/year or 25GB for $90/year. For those 1GB upgrade before it now adds 5GB for no additional charge.

This is a great upgrade on WordPress.com. Everyone will love this free space.
