OneDrive Eliminates Unlimited Storage, Shrinks Free Space
The change will also eliminate the free 15 GB camera roll storage bonus for mobile users.
Microsoft has announced major changes to its OneDrive cloud storage platform, which will eliminate unlimited storage plans and decrease storage space for free users.
Announced on the OneDrive blog, the move was apparently made in response to the ‘small number of users’ who ‘backed up numerous PCs and stored entire movie collections and DVR recordings.’ OneDrive said in some cases, ‘this exceeded 75 TB per user or 14,000 times the average.’
The blog reads:
Instead of focusing on extreme backup scenarios, we want to remain focused on delivering high-value productivity and collaboration experiences that benefit the majority of OneDrive users.
