Windows 10: MS Downgrades free Onedrive storage, ends unlimited for Office 365

What can I say - I sympathize with you, but maybe technology will improve during the rest of your lifetime. I don't plan to hang around that long. *Smile

 

LOL! How could Microsoft not know that if they offered Unlimited space that there are people who are going to use it, some would say abuse it but I say there is no such thing on an Unlimited plan, before you object, look up the definition of Unlimited.
Any way I never "abused" it because I never had Unlimited, but OneDrive says I have 128GB of free space, I'm not really sure how I got so much, but will really be upset with them if I suddenly only have 5GB. Really liked OneDrive because its integrated into my Windows Desktop and Windows Phone, but if they cut my storage space that much I will be looking at other services.

 

Now we know that Microsoft is really worrying about profits over the next few years if they can't afford to supply free storage to users at the rates they could before...

 

"Microsoft giveth....and Microsoft taketh away... so it says in the Corporate Good Book...provision 301b, paragraph 14.

 

I don't think it's got anything to do with profits, it's more about how are they going to be able to give anyone any free storage, if you've got people taking up 14,000 times more than the average person.

I can't even get my head around uploading 75TB of data.

 

I don't think this will not really effect me. Right now I have 15 GB free, 15 GB Camera Roll bonus and 100 Gb Free Bing bonus(good until 02/18/17). Out of that I'm only using 9 GB. If I'm reading it right I'll only lose 10 GB of the free storage and I'll be able to keep the free 15 Gb Camera Roll bonus and the free 100 GB Bing bonus until it runs out in 2017. Then I have the option of keeping the 100 GB if I want to pay for it. IMHO because of the abuse MS should just eliminate the unlimited storage plan.

 

Don't think so.

 

Yeah, I just reread it. I was going by what it said at the bottom of the page. I haven't completely woke up yet. I hate it when the time changes. It's only 1 hour but it usually takes me about a week to get adjusted.

 

`Not being funny but that was a week ago, are you OK?

 

I sitting here thinking about the changes to Onedrive MS is going to make. I can understand MS eliminating the unlimited plan because of the abuse from a few users. What does this have to do with the 15 GB free storage and the 15 GB Camera Role bonus? IMO (getting out my tin foil hat) This was a plan of MS to get users to store large amounts of data to Onedrive. Then come up with a excuse to cut the amount of free storage so they can start charging users that are either hooked on Ondrive or don't want to go through the hassel of downloading all the data they up loaded. (tin foil hat removed)

 

I don't know about you but I changed my clocks on November 1st.

 

Just checked for Hungary, Oct 25th. In the US it was Nov. 1st.

 

Well well, learn something every day, guess I assumed everywhere was the same date *Smile

 

Makes sense
I currently have an Office subscription so this doesn't currently affect me

If I didn't have this, come next year I would have to start paying to use OD as I am over 5GB

 

I wish they would do away with it. What purpose does it really serve anyway?
