    AnonD-560455, 15 Jul 2016Wrong, G-Drive is cheaper after checking pricesI don't trust G-drive, so making it a prime cloud backup is not an option.

      AnonD-25208, 14 Jul 2016Dropbox was my first cloud service and will be my last one,... moreYeah kinda agree. I have been using drop box on desktop and find it amazing. 1 TB I was starting to wonder if I needed a better different service but Nah, seems fine. If you go online to get files instead of laptop icon that's different but as it is it works well.

          Another way to concede defeat to Google's cloud prowess.
          Here I thought, Satya, will focus on Microsoft's cloud business.

Not to mention that Google Drive is far inferior to OneDrive when it comes to syncing, speed, functionality and browsing features.

                        Remember, not everything is reliable, and only serve to be temporary storages. I used to DVD burn my important files every 6 months. I got tired of it, and portable HDDs have become bigger in capacity, and a lot more cheaper. I just got a 2TB 2.5" Seagate HDD as my secondary backup.

                        Sometimes I just carry my MS Surface 2 for my writing, and everything from my cloud storage is accessible and updated. If i list my Surface 2, i still have all my files.

They usually deal with 50-100mb raw files from their photos. And even bigger when talking abut raw videos. So they will need bigger storage HDDs. Upwards of 10TB would be the norm for them. You're seriously underestimating their workload.

                              Am i a lucky one or what i have 130GB onedrive. Never paid anything to microsoft. Had it since skydrive days and i bought one windows 10 tablet which came with free storage but surely it wasnt 100gb. I know i opted in decemeber for 15+15 the only problem is that i am using 63gb out of 130gb. I hope they just wont delete it one day. I have safe backup on 2 hdds microsd dropbox and google drive but i loke onedrive most to be honest. Just for perfect camera roll symc between android and photos app in windows 10.

                                  I received an email about this a month ago.

                                  I don't bother, prefer HDD / CD / SD storage than cloud storage.

All my files were kept and nothing were deleted. I could not upload anything as I was full, so I believe it should be the same for OneDrive....although, I recommend you to either upgrade and/or make a backup just in case the worst scenario would turn on.
