Microsoft Backtracks On OneDrive Downgrades, Lets Users Keep 15 GB Free Storage – But With A Catch

New Ruling

With the newly amended policy, Microsoft said it will still include the 1 TB of storage offer for Office 365 Home, University and Personal subscriptions. Those who were given extra storage as part of the unlimited storage offering are still allowed to keep it for at least one year. A full refund to people who are not happy with the company's decision not to offer unlimited storage will also be available.

Customers who already have more than 5 GB of user content on the free service will be offered a year of Office 365 Personal. This means they are going to enjoy 1 TB of storage. An email will be sent to them giving information on the redemption early next year.

In the meantime, the company is allowing OneDrive customers to keep their 15 GB of free storage and 15 GB camera roll bonus. The catch though is that OneDrive fans need to sign up so they can keep their storage.

Log into your Outlook.com account, then sign up here :

You have to agree to certain conditions, otherwise the process rejects your attempt at taking up the offer.

Click below and your account will not be affected when the amount of free storage changes from 15 GB to 5 GB and the +15 GB camera roll bonus is discontinued.*

* Offer must be redeemed by January 31, 2016. Microsoft account required. Limit of one redemption per person/account. Internet and mobile fees may apply. May not be combined with other offers.

EDIT : feel free to move this thread to a more appropriate section / sub-section of the forum, as wasn't sure if this was 100% relevant to "Software".

There will be more 'backtracks' or carrots, as Windows 10 is rubbish.

I have 28.7 GB of OneDrive storage space...never paid a cent for it either. I did confirm my wish to keep my storage as is just in case.
