( Update: We've just gotten word from Microsoft Singapore that the new prices will be S$3.00/month for 100GB and S$6.00/month for 200GB. We’ve yet to get the local prices, but as a reference, currently it costs S$10.99/month for an additional 100GB and S$15.99/month for an additional 200GB. Alternatively, you could sign up for OneDrive for Business, which offers 1TB of storage for US$2.50/month per user.Īccording to Microsoft, current subscribers will automatically be moved to the new prices.If you want more than 15GB of OneDrive storage but don’t want to subscribe to Office 365, there are new, lower-priced monthly subscription storage options.More specifically, the S$13.80/month Office 365 Home will land you 1TB per person (up to 5 people) and the S$9.80/month Office 365 Personal and S$108/4-year University will get 1TB per subscription. Office 365 subscribers will get 1TB (nice!).From next month onwards, OneDrive will come with 15GB for free (up from 7GB previously).A particular pleasing piece of news that greeted us today is that Microsoft has announced that it’s more than doubling its OneDrive (previously known as SkyDrive) cloud storage for both regular Microsoft account holders and Office 365 subscribers.īut up to how much exactly? To summarize: Here at HardwareZone, we always hold the view that there’s no such thing as too much storage.
Update (June 25, 2014): Added local prices for new storage plans. But if you’re willing to check out Bing, Microsoft will reward you with tangible benefits.Microsoft OneDrive Goes to 15GB Free Office 365 Users Get 1TB If you prefer Google’s search engine, you’ll probably want to stick with it. Microsoft offers a 5-percent discount at the Microsoft Store for just 50 credits, for example, and other deals include $5 gift cards at Amazon or Starbucks for 525 credits. The additional OneDrive storage deal might not be the best offer you can get. Referring a friend to OneDrive will earn you another 500MB, up to a maximum of 5GB. As part of it rebranding SkyDrive to OneDrive marketing effort, Microsoft also handed out an additional 3GB if you simply turned on the camera-backup feature on your smartphone (iOS, Android, or Windows Phone). Microsoft already hands out 7GB of free OneDrive cloud storage to new users who sign up for the service.
It’s a bit spammy, so you’re more likely to convince your friends to participate if you pitch it as a “scratch my back, and I’ll scratch yours” deal. And if they complete Silver-level status (which basically means they need to click through a “tour” or two), you’ll get 200 credits as well. Through the end of February, Microsoft is also offering a free 200-credit bonus to friends you invite to Bing Rewards.
