              Pretty excited about this...I also got notice that my iDrive yearly renewal is today. I know OneDrive isn't an online backup but I get more space with it, not to mention I backup to external drives at home (keeping a copy offsite) and I have an archive NAS. Wondering if I should renew iDrive...it mainly does my pictures and SOME video...painfully slow too.

                It appears to be a rolling upgrade. My home tenant hasn't received it yet.

                  Most O365 updates are rolling.

                    I'm glad that we just got our non-profit status approved for the office 365 e3. Great time to start using it.

                          Is there anything to stop a home user signing up for an O365 Business Plan? Do you need to be a registered business or anything? Because otherwise, 50 quid a year for a 1TB storage plus business class e-mail seems like a bargain? If I want more storage for my Hotmail account it's around six times more expensive!

                            Really only the backup automation portion. If you scripted something to backup into OneDrive it is a legitimate backup target. The thing is that a "backup" utility needs a utility. OneDrive is just storage. But add some software to do the backing up to it and it is a valid part of a backup strategy.

                              No, I know of no product that has a restriction like that. No software, hardware, real estate, etc. It's a common belief that all kinds of things require one to be a business but the reality is is that such restrictions have no reason to exist and so don't. Some product somewhere is like that, but I can't think of any.

                                  I can always change my libraries to be the OneDrive location...just wonder if I would ever lose data due to some weird syncing issues...

                                    I've had problems the other way round, where I've tried to buy a consumer product with a business credit card and it's been declined because the credit card is registered to a business address.

                                    1TB of data for $30, add e-mail and a bunch of other stuff for an extra $20. Is there anything else in the market that offers anything similar?

                                          Yes. Often consumers get special pricing not available to a business. But any person can simply declare themselves a business if they want.
