Memorable step back from Microsoft, which allows users to maintain the historical OneDrive old thresholds free. The deduction will be only for new customers.
Current users of OneDrive now have the opportunity to keep 15 GB of storage for free, despite the announcements last month. In November, Microsoft announced a cut of space free for subscription plans unlimited, free and paid, but apparently the company has decided to make an about-face rewarding historical users of the service. To maintain the current thresholds of storage space free give yourself time by 31 January 2016 and register for the ” promotion ” in time.
The news of the curtailment of storage OneDrive had naturally caused major disagreements between the user of the service, which would be private view of a large amount of space in the cloud and would have to extensively revise the personal methods of use of its storage on the cloud. More than 70,000 users took part in the page OneDrive UserVoice asking the company the ” return ” of storage for free subscriptions
In recent hours, he responded to a Microsoft spokesman, Douglas Pearce, who wrote the page UserVoice: ” Customers of our free service that have more than 5 GB of content and you will see directly involved in the cutting of storage will offer one-year free Personal Office 365, which includes 1 TB of storage. These customers will receive an email with the information to get the offer in the early stages of next year “. The message continues with Pearce that targets users historians.
” In addition, our biggest fans that have been loyal supporters of OneDrive add a new offering that will allow them to maintain the current 15 GB of storage even after the changes that will take place next year. If they also have the bonus of 15 GB camera roll, keep it as well. We are all very sorry for the frustration that this decision has resulted in you and the way that last month the news was announced. ”
Microsoft still sins in communication A problem which has repeated a bit too often in the last few years, successively on the console, then several times with Windows 10. The new change of Microsoft is not yet final, but it will keep the old one and thresholds only for current users OneDrive who enjoyed the increase of storage in your account. All-new users for free, starting from January 31, will have only 5 GB.
To take advantage of this offer time Microsoft simply subscribe to this address by 31 January next and press the blue button with the words ” Keep your free storage. ” Will not return the space for free Office 365 because of the abuses of some users.
