Microsoft 365 subscribers set to lose up to 4 TB of OneDrive storage
What Microsoft giveth, Microsoft taketh away, again and again
Microsoft is set to reduce the OneDrive storage allotments for its 365 subscribers on Family, Premium, and Pro tiers. The new shared storage system will limit the capacity to 2 TB for Family and Premium plans, with up to six users sharing the space, and 5 TB for Pro users. This change will result in a loss of up to 4 TB of combined storage for fully shared Family and Premium subscriptions, and up to 1 TB for Pro subscribers.
Microsoft claims the move aims to provide a more flexible experience, allowing users to utilize the full shared storage allotment if the subscription owner doesn't share the plan. However, the reduction has been met with dissatisfaction, with many customers likely to cancel their subscriptions to avoid the storage decrease and the need to clean up files. Microsoft has included steps for subscription cancellation on the support page for the change.
