Microsoft has announced a radical change for the OneDrive system dedicated to users from all over the world, thus reducing the free space offered to a third, canceling the unlimited space for users Office 365.
Starting from the following period, the free space available in Microsoft OneDrive will be reduced from 15 GB to 5 GB for all users, while users Office 365 they will not benefit from unlimited space because Microsoft discovered some users who were occupying 75 TB of storage space on its servers from a single account.
Among these users are also some who have made online backups for their own computers, saving movie collections, music and other content protected by copyright, the 75 TB space occupied by certain people being 14.000 times larger than the OneDrive average.
Since we started to roll out unlimited cloud storage to Office 365 consumer subscribers, a small number of users backed up numerous PCs and stored entire movie collections and DVR recordings. In some instances, this exceeded 75 TB per user or 14,000 times the average.
Based on these issues, Office 365 users will only have 1 TB of storage space included in the subscription, while the 100 GB and 200 GB storage options will disappear, only a $1.99 option with 50 GB of storage space being offered for those interested.
People who have abused the space provided by Microsoft will have 12 months to access and transfer them to other locations, after which they will be deleted, so if you uploaded more than you should in OneDrive, it would be good to recover files now.
