Finally, anyone with a Microsoft account will only get 5GB of free storage, instead of 15GB. You will no longer get extra space if you allow the OneDrive apps to automatically backup photos on your phone. Additionally, beginning in early 2016, the 100GB and 200GB paid storage plans will be discontinued, replaced with a 50GB for $1.99 per month plan. In late 2015, Microsoft made an announcement that it would no longer offer unlimited cloud storage to Office 365 subscribers.
That’s still big-picture stuff for OneDrive, but it gives you an idea of the direction Microsoft is moving in. For instance, if you take a photo of your kids, a picture of a special meal and a shot of your parking space so you can find your car later, OneDrive would be able to understand the importance of each picture, save the ones it thinks are the most useful, and trash the rest. Microsoft is hoping that OneDrive will be the place where you store your photos, and the company is working on technology that will eventually sort all of the photos you take based on how important and meaningful they are. You’ll even be able to see the changes they make as they make them. If you have an Office 365 subscription and open a document saved in OneDrive, you can collaborate on it in real time with other people. OneDrive’s biggest strength is that it works closely with Microsoft Office apps, such as Word or PowerPoint, so when you launch one of those applications you’ll see a list of recent documents saved to OneDrive. The Android, iOS and Windows Phone apps all have automatic photo uploads, meaning that when you shoot a photo with your phone, it’s automatically saved to your account. The service organizes your files by type for you, so it’s easy to find what you need.
You can store any kind of file in the service, including photos, video and documents, and then access them from any of your Windows PCs or mobile devices. However, anyone can use it on the Web, by downloading a desktop app for Mac and earlier versions of Windows, or the OneDrive Android, iOS, Windows Phone and Xbox apps. Those who use Windows 8 and 10 have OneDrive built into their operating system, where it shows up in the file explorer next to all of the files on your computer’s hard drive. First up is OneDrive, Microsoft’s storage option.
