Microsoft Reducing the Free Storage Amount for OneDrive
If you have a Microsoft account, such as a Hotmail, now
Outlook.com, account
you were eligible for 15 GB of free storage for files with
OneDrive, which provides
cloud-based storage. Microsoft is reducing the amount allocated to accounts
from 15 GB to 5 GB. Howerver, if you visit this
OneDrive page, you can
click on the button there to retain the 15 GB limit to ensure
"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." But you
will need to do so by January 31, 2016. If you do so you can have a total of
30 GB in free online storage that will allow you to share files between
devices and backup your files offsite in the cloud.
