If you use the free OneDrive plan and the size of your files exceeds 5 GB, then (information from the Microsoft website):
- If you use the free version and you have more than 5 GB in OneDrive, you will receive an e-mail with a proposal to get a free annual subscription for Office 365 personal, which includes 1 TB of storage space.
- If you do not use this offer, you will need to purchase additional storage or delete some files. Otherwise, 90 days after the first notification, your account will become read-only.
- If after 90 days the quota is exceeded, your files will remain available to you for 9 months. You can view and download them. However, you will not be able to add new files.
- If after 9 months the quota is still exceeded, your account will be blocked. This means that you will lose access to the content in OneDrive until you take appropriate action.
- If you do not take any action within 6 months, your content may be deleted.
What are the reasons for such changes (quote)
We made this decision after careful analysis and deliberation, although it is not easy to make such decisions. We have allocated too much for free storage, and now we want to concentrate our efforts on quality support for productivity and collaboration, which will be useful to most of our customers. If we continue to support current offers, we will not be able to cope with the growth and provide reliable services that you can count on. These changes were necessary so that we could continue to offer a convenient and always accessible service for collaboration.
