Microsoft announced yesterday that they plan to downgrade their various OneDrive storage offerings.

Office 365 Home, Personal and University customers are now limited to 1 TB of OneDrive storage instead of unlimited storage. The 100GB and 200GB OneDrive plans are discontinued. They will be replaced by a 50GB plan for $1.99 per month in early 2016. Free storage will be reduced from 15GB to 5GB for all free users. The camera roll bonus of 15GB will be discontinued.

Microsoft's reasoning for the OneDrive storage offering downgrades: "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."

    Unlike YCombinator, this site is not yet big enough for Microsoft to pay people so that you see "both sides of the coin".

    If that is the prevailing community attitude then it never will be as big or respectable as a news source.

      The only criterion for respectability is adherence to the truth, and that's not even done in the summary or the article but in the comments, so whine less and inform more :)

      I would rather be factual than respected. The respect I value the most is self-respect.
