Microsoft Aims To Dominate Cloud Storage By Offering Unlimited Storage

Advertisements

Are you an Office 365 user? If so, you can get unlimited storage with one exception that I will get to. Here’s the details from Microsoft:

Today, storage limits just became a thing of the past with Office 365.  OneDrive and OneDrive for Business will now offer unlimited storage—at no additional cost—to our Office 365 consumer and business customers.

A trip to the One Drive Blog has more details:

For OneDrive for Business customers, unlimited storage will be listed on the Office 365 roadmap in the coming days and we will begin updating the First Release customers in 2015, aligned with our promise to provide ample notification for significant service changes. In the meantime, get started using your 1 TB of storage today by backing up all those work files kicking around on your PC – with the knowledge that even more storage is on its way!

So if you’re a Office 365 Home, Personal and University customer, the joy of having unlimited storage starts today. Business customers will have to wait for a bit. But they get 1TB now so I don’t think that will be too much of a hardship. The bottom line is that Microsoft has pretty much given you a great reason not to use Dropbox, Box, Google Drive, or iDrive.
