The Microsoft OneDrive cloud storage service has started looking better than ever seeing as Office 365 users will now get unlimited storage space. This decision by Microsoft may help to make OneDrive appear more attractive than Dropbox, Google Drive and similar solutions which are free only until a certain extent.
Of course, you have to be an Office 365 subscriber in order to avail of the free, unlimited OneDrive deal being extended by Microsoft. It’s a very sensible marketing route to take since this could achieve two goals at the same time. Not only will the company’s storage service become more popular, a higher number of people may also consider its suite of cloud-hosted apps.
If you compare the prices, Microsoft’s offer will appeal to the bargain hunter hiding inside you, or the one unabashedly strutting around and inviting names like ‘cheapskate.’ Office 365 Personal costs just $6.99 per month and it will come with all the hoarding room you’ll ever need.
Even the Home version is pretty reasonable at $9.99 monthly. You can patiently wait for unlimited cloud storage to be rolled out by the tech giant over the following months. You could otherwise do the smart thing and upgrade to the program by going to the Microsoft OneDrive preview website.

Google Drive is pegged at $9.99 a month for 1TB of locker room. The same goes for Dropbox too, while it’s $19.99 per month for the same amount of space on Apple iCloud. In case you’re saying that Google’s productivity apps are free to use, so is Microsoft Office Online.
Unlimited OneDrive storage at no charge is out for Microsoft Office 365 Home, Personal and University users.
