If you need to continue to use OneDrive effectively, users need to increase OneDrive storage to ensure that they can continue to upload files to it. Situation 1: As electronic devices have become more and more widely used, the important data stored therein has long exceeded 5GB.However, there are different reasons to increase OneDrive storage: You can upload local files to the OneDrive cloud, not only to avoid data loss in local failures but also to log in to OneDrive from any device (including PC, Mac, iOS, Android devices, etc.) access files. By default, as long as you have a OneDrive or Microsoft account, you can get 5GB of free storage space. OneDrive’s free allowance for all Microsoft account holders remains unchanged at 5GB.For most Windows users, OneDrive is a very powerful helper. Google One and Apple iCloud both have cheaper 100GB plans. That’s double the current 50GB for the same price.ġ00GB for US$23.88 plus tax a year is almost 24 cents per GB which is a high price compared to the many other cloud providers out there. The standalone (ie no Office 365 plan) price for OneDrive storage only is now $1.99 a month for 100GB. That takes a little tech trickery but it’s possible, despite being a breach of the spirit (maybe the letter) of the Office 365 license. Savvy customers setup another ‘user’ (email address) for their Home plan and use that 1TB quota. Office 365 Home has 1TB OneDrive for each of the 6 users who can share the plan. More than a few Office 365 Home customers already have more than a 1TB of storage at no extra charge. There’s a lot to be said for spreading the risk across multiple providers so that a failure of one cloud store doesn’t affect all your data.
It’s convenient to have a single online store but there are downsides like reliability and trusting all your online storage to a single provider. There are cheaper options for photo / video storage too. Dropbox is cheaper (around 6 cents per GB/year). OneDrive storage extras work out to 12 cents per GB a year which is about the current standard charge for general cloud storage. All monthly prices in US dollars before taxes. Now it’s possible to expand beyond 1TB online storage, for a monthly fee, up to 2TB.Īdditional storage is available in 200GB increments. Office 365 Home, Personal and other plans already include a Terabyte of OneDrive cloud storage per user. Microsoft is expanding OneDrive storage for paying customers, either as part of an Office 365 plan or paying separately.
