Office 365 subscribers get unlimited OneDrive storage

Microsoft is removing its OneDrive storage limits for
Office 365 subscribers. If you’re an Office 365 Home,
Personal, or University subscriber then OneDrive storage
will be unlimited in the coming months as Microsoft rolls
out its changes to every account. OneDrive for Business
customers will also get unlimited storage as part of
Microsoft’s Office 365 roadmap. While Microsoft's
unlimited OneDrive storage is rolling out to all Office 365
accounts in the coming months, you can opt-in to be
upgraded early over at Microsoft's OneDrive preview site .
The surprise move comes just months after Microsoft
gifted 1TB of OneDrive space to Office 365 subscribers.
At the time Microsoft also doubled its free space and
aimed to beat competition from Google and Dropbox to
widen the storage gap. Today’s unlimited storage
announcement changes things significantly, and
Microsoft claims it’s all part of the company’s plan to
make "OneDrive the world’s cloud storage leader."
Microsoft’s latest offer means unlimited OneDrive storage
and a copy of Office that works on Mac or PC, tablets,
and smartphones is only $6.99 per month. Google and
Dropbox charge $9.99 a month for 1TB of space alone,
without the additional Office software. Google also offers
Drive for Work to business for $10 per user per month
with unlimited storage.
