Microsoft has just levelled the playing field by upgrading
its OneDrive cloud storage service to match what its competitors are offering.
Starting next month, users of the company’s OneDrive storage
solution will have double the storage space from 7GB to 15GB for basic (free
users). Those with Office 365 subscription will also get an upgrade. Those with
Office 365 Home subscription will get 1TB of storage space per person (up to 5
people) at $12/month; while those with Personal and University subscription
will also get a terabyte of space at $9/month and $99/4 years respectively.
On the other hand, those already subscribed to OneDrive’s
paid plans will get discounts of up to 70% of their monthly subscription rate.
The new pricing scheme will be $1.99 for the 100GB plan (from $7.49) and $3.99
for the 200GB option which was previously priced at $11.49.
And for those who are currently subscribed to any plans,
Microsoft will automatically move your plans to the lower prices starting next
month.
