Microsoft limits the capacity onedrive – Onet.pl

Example burglary of the iCloud showed that online drives are not the best place to store data, but despite this many people use them, valuing the convenience they provide. One of the most popular services of this type is onedrive is owned by Microsoft.

Sadly, a number of its users may be significantly diminishing because the Redmond giant has just introduced several changes to its operation. This is due mainly to a reduction of available disk space for users, which significantly reduces the attractiveness of the service.

Until recent buyers of Office 365 Home, Personal, and the University receive unlimited disk space as part of paid subscription, but the good times just finished. Currently, new users can only count to 1 TB, and present a greater capacity will remain for 12 months.

Also dropped packages of 100 GB and 200 GB, which from next year will be replaced by a slightly smaller package, providing 50 GB of onedrive, costing $ 1.99 a month.

With 15 GB for only 5 GB is also reduced free space available for all users, both existing and new. These changes also come into force from next year, so existing users will still be able to use for a year of full 15 GB of storage space.

Why Microsoft onedrive limited disk space? Officially it is talking about striving to increase the efficiency of the service, but unofficially it may be a over-utilization by users of the space available. The company admits that a small proportion (that is really probably quite large), used the disc to store a collection of his films. Some of using unlimited space, there were up to 75 TB of data, while data storage is not cheap.

Microsoft in recent months pursued an aggressive strategy to fight competition by providing users onedrive the most space and apparently himself fell victim to it.
