Microsoft taking away your storage!!





Microsoft is taking away our storage!!


Out of no where... I get a veeery ugly email from microsoft:


"We want to let you know about some upcoming changes to OneDrive. On 7/13/2016, the amount of storage that comes with OneDrive will change from 15 GB to 5 GB. We are also discontinuing the 15 GB camera roll bonus. You can learn more at our FAQ."


"These changes were necessary to ensure that we can continue to offer a collaborative, connected, and intelligent service."





If you have a free OneDrive plan and will be over your storage quota as a result of these changes:


If you are a free user and have over 5 GB of content in your OneDrive, you will receive an email with an offer to claim a free 1-year subscription to Office 365 Personal*, which includes 1 TB of storage.


If you do not claim this offer, you will need to purchase additional storage or remove some of your files. Otherwise, 90 days after you receive your first notice, your account will become read-only.


If you are over quota after the 90 days, you will still have access to your files for 9 months. You can view and download them. However, you will not be able to add new content.


If after 9 months you are still over quota, your account will be locked. That means that you will not be able to access the content in your OneDrive until you take action.


If after 6 more months you fail to take action, your content may be deleted.
