OneDrive storage plans change in pursuit of productivity and collaboration
-
We’re making changes to OneDrive storage plans for consumers and are committed to making this transition as smooth as possible. 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.
Just another example of: "We said unlimited, but we didn't actually mean it."

Just another confirmation that I still do the right thing not falling for the flashy free things... they remind me the signs "free bird food" that Eile E. Coyote used to put on the street. If it's free you'll pay for it. You obtain as much as you pay.

This sucks. Lots of complaints. Nothing worse than offering something and then taking it away. I understand restricting unlimited. It was always silly to offer that anyway. But restricting people who were already restricted (so couldn’t abuse it by definition) makes no sense. I assume they just want more revenue but better to offer incentives to pay for more space rather than futher restricting existing space. They could also have applied restrictions to new users rather than existing ones, like they did originally. And what about very long-term Hotmail users? No longer any reward for loyalty? Way to go Microsoft!
