It is small, but if you look at their competition it's still competitive.

Only Mega offers more for free (20GB).

Microsoft offers 5GB.

Ente.io offers 10GB.

Proton.io offers 2GB (if you jump through some time-limited hoops, most of which defeats the purpose of using a privacy cloud, you get a whooping 5GB free instead)

Filen.io offers 10GB, but you can get 30GB if you do a similar dance to proton and spam your referral code everywhere.

Notably Microsoft used to offer 15GB until decreasing it a decade ago.

So while I would say 15GB is pretty typical, I would not say it's competitive. I would say the competition died in 2013.

If the top offer is 15 GB, then 15GB is competitive, even if multiple providers offer it.

Disclosure: I work at Google, but not on anything related to this.

Competitive implies competition.

The competition ended over a decade ago, and 15GB stayed 15GB even though the price of providing it dropped 5x.

Even though they're near the top, none of those companies are "competitive" in my book.
