Amidst this community, users of "Ian S." said about OneDrive's capacity reduction plan "" I have been a fan of OneDrive for a long time, but the capacity of the storage that we have been able to use this time We can not recommend this service anymore if it decreases.I think that the majority of users including me actually had only the normal amount of data stored.Why do we think that some upper limit Do you have to pay for users who store data beyond that? ", Claiming that unlimited abolition of capacity and reduction of free storage capacity is unjust for users who have used OneDrive normally. This gained the approval of many users.


Douglas Pearce, Microsoft's program manager, replied to this comment. According to Mr. Pearce, after announcing the capacity reduction of OneDrive in November 2015, Microsoft has received a lot of disappointment from Windows and OneDrive fans. Of course Microsoft seems to have been prepared to raise such criticized voices from the user, but many times I write the word of apology as "I am really sorry".

Microsoft announced that it will be able to access excess data for at least 12 months so that data migration can be done smoothly after capacity reduction. Also, users who use 5 GB or more of free users are entitled to the free use of 1 year 's Office 365 Personal service, which means that 1 year free of charge for 1 TB on OneDrive It was announced that taking countermeasures that can use capacity is announced.

Nevertheless, having received a lot of critical reactions, Mr. Pears says, "We will not change the whole capacity reduction plan of OneDrive", but with a preface, it was planned to be done from the beginning of 2016 " We have announced that we have prepared a privilege to avoid both of usable storage from 15 GB to 5 GB and "Removal of 15 GB of camera roll storage privilege" and to continue using 15 GB of storage even for free users.

This benefit can be received if you click on "Keep your free storage" and click on "Keep your free storage" and you can receive it, even after capacity reduction in the beginning of 2016, free 15 GB storage is used It will be able to continue. Of course, additional storage provided in the past promotion will not decrease. In addition, users with "15 GB of camera roll storage privilege" can continue to use "15 GB of camera roll storage privilege" + 15 GB of storage after capacity reduction.
