  "account": "Microsoft is set to reduce cloud storage and AI benefits for its 365 subscribers through a process called \"shrinkflation.\" This change involves consolidating shared storage pools for all subscribers, reducing the total allotted storage from 6 TB to 2 TB for Microsoft 365 Family and Premium plans. The price increase could be significant for those who heavily use the current storage allowance. Additionally, AI usage credits, previously exclusive to the subscription owner, will be shared among family members. The changes aim to curb excessive storage usage while aligning Microsoft's offerings with its competitors.",
  "summary": "Today, shared Microsoft 365 plans include 1 TB of OneDrive cloud storage for every family member. Microsoft is about to shrink that allotment dramatically.",
