Which offer did you take advantage of-free Office 365 for a year or 15 GB of OneDrive storage indefinitely? Tell us about it in the comment section below. The free year of Office 365 only applies to users who would have lost files due to the change to a 5-gigabyte storage tier in OneDrive, and since you're upgrading to 15 GB, this would no longer be the case. Understand, though, that using this second offer will automatically preclude you from being able to take advantage of the first offer. At the same time, they'll also be throwing in a free 12 month subscription to Office 365-all because you were over the new storage cap. To smooth out this transition, Microsoft will offer to bump any user who is over the new 5-gigabyte storage cap up to a 1-terabyte storage limit for one year. But when the switch eventually happens, users that were on the free tier of OneDrive will see their maximum storage capacity drop from 15 GB down to just 5 GB. None of these changes will take place until 'early next year,' so for the next month or so, everything will stay the same. Get a Free Year of Office 365 & 1 TB of Storage On top of that, there are two additional consolation offers, which I'll go over in more detail below. They're still sticking to their guns about the storage options going forward, but if you're already using additional storage as part of the Office365 promotion, you'll be able to keep it for 12 months. At the same time, they reneged on an offer to give Office365 users unlimited OneDrive storage, and instead, will only be offering 1 TB of storage.Īfter the uproar this caused, Microsoft had a slight change of heart today. Just last month, Microsoft announced plans to take away a huge chunk of storage from the free tier of their OneDrive cloud service, and users are understandably quite upset.
