Microsoft says 1 TB is enough
If you’re one of the many people that store their files on Micorosft’s OneDrive, you might want to start doing some storage cleaning because Micosoft is putting down the hammer. Microsoft announced that all OneDrive accounts will be returned to a 1 TB cap and that all users should make sure they don’t have more than 1 TB stored on OneDrive. Many might be wondering what will become of their data if it exceeds the cap.
OneDrive Lockout
According to Microsoft representatives, the respective account will be given three months to reduce the volume of data. If you fail to clean out enough data so you don’t have more than 1 TB of data stored after those three months, the account will be locked for six or more months. We’re no longer planning to offer unlimited storage to Office 365 Home, Personal, or University subscribers. Starting now, those subscriptions will include 1 TB of OneDrive storage. But wait, there’s more. During the lockout, you can actually request a 30 day unlock in which you are once more given the opportunity of cleaning your account. If you fail, your account gets sent back into quarantine, where you won’t even be able to access your files let alone manipulate them in any way. RELATED STORIES TO CHECK OUT:
