Last November he made public the news that we all feared and is the disappearance of infinite storage in his cloud storage service Onedrive. It also reduced the free plan to 5 GB, leaving many users in a difficult situation. These changes will begin to apply from next July 27 with bad news for everyone.
According to Microsoft this decision has been made "To ensure the sustainable operation of OneDrive in the future", although we fear that what the Redmond ones are really looking for is to squeeze even more their storage service in the cloud and get the best possible performance in the form of euros.
A sample of this is that all those who exceed the storage limit as of July 27 will see how their files will be deleted, so it is very important that you carefully monitor what you have stored in Onedrive and above all pay attention to the space it occupies.
As of that day 27, the free storage plan will go from 15 GB to just 5 GB, and the 100 and 200 GB paid plans will disappear to make way for a single 50 GB one. In addition, the unlimited space that Office 365 subscribers previously had will disappear to offer them a limited space of 1 TB.
“We overcommitted to our free storage limits and want to focus on providing high-value productivity and collaboration experiences that benefit the majority of our users. If we continued to work with current offerings, we would not be able to support our growth or provide the trusted service you have. These changes were necessary to ensure that we can continue to offer a collaborative, connected and intelligent service ”.
