There are several cloud storage options out there, and Microsoft OneDrive is one of them. Just like all cloud storage options, it has its storage limits, and the company announced a photo storage limit a few months ago. However, according to Gizmondo, Microsoft walked back the photo storage limit on OneDrive.
If you’re interested in getting Microsoft OneDrive, there are several payment tiers that you can check out. When you sign up for OneDrive, you get 5GB of storage for free. For additional storage, you can pay $1.99/month ($19.99/year) for 100GB of storage.
Going up the ladder, 1TB of storage costs $6.99/month ($69.99/year). At the top of the list, the 6TB storage plan costs $9.99/month ($99.99/year). Each payment tier comes with certain additional perks like access to different Microsoft Office software and more. Be sure to check it out if you’re looking for additional cloud storage options.
There won’t be a OneDrive photo storage limit after all
Back in August, Microsoft announced that it was going to impose a storage limit for photos. If the change went through, any photo that users uploaded would count towards the 5GB limit. So, if you maxed out your 5G of storage, then you won’t be able to upload any additional pictures. That upset users, as they would be cut off from uploading pictures.
Microsoft, during the announcement, stated that it would give users a free year of additional storage to help them transition. However, that didn’t do much to make the users feel better. As you can imagine, those users made their complaints known, and the company has walked back the change.
This might have been part of a larger plan by the company, as back in February, Microsoft announced that email attachments in Outlook would count toward their 5GB limit. Because of this, users found that they couldn’t receive emails because they maxed out their storage. That led to a ton of users being extremely upset with the company, as it forced them into a subscription service.
