<\/span>Microsoft to double OneDrive free space, slash extra storage prices up to 73%<\/h1>\n
\n

Will also bump Office 365 Home, Personal subscribers’ allotment to 1TB next month<\/h2>\n

Microsoft today announced it would double OneDrive’s free storage space for consumers to 15GB from its previous allowance of 7GB.<\/p>\n<\/header>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The expansion of the free tier, and other changes to OneDrive, will take place in July.<\/p>\n

Microsoft’s moves come as all the major players are scrambling to offer customers more for less. Earlier this month, Apple said it would cut prices by up to 70% for paid iCloud plans. And last week Amazon said that users of its Fire phone would have an unlimited amount of storage for photos taken with the device’s camera.<\/p>\n

Along with the doubling of the free allotment, Microsoft also said that it would hand subscribers of Office 365 Home and Office 365 Personal — the two consumer-grade rent-not-own plans — 1TB (terabyte) per user, up from a comparatively paltry amount of just 27GB. Students who have subscribed to Office 365 University, an $80 four-year program, also will receive 1TB free of charge.<\/p>\n

The bump to 1TB per user on the consumer side matched the move\u00a0Microsoft made in April on Office 365 commercial accounts<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
