We will never have shortage of cloud storage especially now when more companies are offering deals for unlimited storage. For one, all current Office 365 subscribers are lucky to receive unlimited OneDrive storage for free. This means all Office 365 Home, Personal, and University customers can store their files on the cloud service with no additional cost.
Microsoft announced this offer yesterday to the delight of Office 365 members. However, the rollout will not happen at once. The software giant will slowly give free access to the subscribers over the next few months. While waiting for the full OneDrive unlimited storage, subscribers can enjoy the auto upload feature from the smartphone’s camera roll to the cloud storage.
First customers to get the unlimited storage are the OneDrive for Business subscribers. Their storage will be listed on the Office 365 roadmap in the next few days ahead of others. Microsoft will also update the service for the First Release customers next year. Right now, 1TB can be used for backup but Microsoft promises unlimited storage soon.
OneDrive unlimited storage is an important development for everyone who has started to depend on cloud computing. Geeks are relying more on the cloud for work, communication, development, and other creative endeavors. Professional and personal computing are made easier with cloud services. Everything can be stored and accessed online now. No need for bulky hard drives, SSDs, or USB flashdrives that are prone to errors and viruses. All you need is fast Internet connection.
Microsoft aims to be the top cloud storage in the world today. Let’s see how Office 365 will get more subscribers and beat other cloud storage services out there.
