You’re gonna lose a lot of free OneDrive space!

I suspect most of us have personal Microsoft ID’s and probably at the very least store some OneNote notebooks there! You’re about to lose a lot of OneDrive space if you don’t take action.

TLDR version:

You will lose 10GBs or 25GBs of free Microsoft OneDrive storage if you don’t opt in to keeping it by 1/31/16!  Opt to keep it here:

So here’s the deal…

Microsoft was offering 15GBs of free storage, plus the camera roll bonus of an additional 15GBs of cloud storage for free if you opted into that, totaling 30GBs of cloud storage.  Microsoft is lowering new accounts and existing accounts if you do not take action to 5GBs and no camera roll bonus, meaning you will lose a free 10GBs or even 25GBs if you do nothing.

First, try to activate the free camera roll phone backup to OneDrive to gain another 15GBs if you haven’t already done this.  Even if you don’t wish for your camera on your phone to automatically upload pics, you still get additional space for whatever you want.  Also, I would recommend if you don’t care about the feature to disable it on your phone to ensure it never takes up cell data allotment trying to upload all your phone camera photos.  If you didn’t do this before, I don’t know if it still works…

Finally, you need to opt in to keep your OneDrive allotment as it is using this link:

If you cannot get the camera roll bonus, you still will net a free +10GBs to keep compared to taking no action at all, which is triple the OneDrive storage!
