Onedrive storage
Posted: Fri Jan 06, 2017 10:24 pm
My 100GB upgrade with Microsoft Rewards Points runs out in Feb, after all this time. I have 140GB total now which would go down to 40GB. I am using 55GB. So....
I see no more offers to trade any of my points for Onedrive space, which is too bad, as I have 40,000+ points.
There are only two options and they both cost money.
A) Office 365 Personal with 1TB storage (also access to the newest Office applications) for $70/yr which isn't too bad really. This is kind of two options because the other choice is an Office 365 Home subscription which is the same but for up to 5 users and 5 PCs, and each user gets the 1TB. That costs $100/yr which is also pretty reasonable.
B) Upgrade my 15GB plan to 50GB (which I guess would add 35GB to what I have now) for $2/mo. That should give me 75GB or 20GB of headroom at current usage. That's probably what I will be forced to do in Feb. I may spring for the 1TB when that remaining headroom is eaten up, if there are no other options and if there is never another space upgrade for MS reward points. There probably won't be...
You might ask what I use this for. First, integration with Windows is very good. Second, my phone uploads all photos and videos to onedrive automatically. Third, I use it for misc file storage/sharing and also photo sharing from my dSLR. Like I said, I have 55GB up there currently.
