OneDrive Conundrum With Windows 10

I took out an O365 business account 12 months ago, mainly as a secondary backup of my photos as I don't entirely trust Flickr. It was about $60. It's due for renewal in a couple of weeks and I've just realised I've never actually got round to using it! I'm not sure whether to renew or to switch to Google Drive which is $24 per 100GB so would probably work out about a similar price for me.
From my limited use of either product, I have to say I prefer Google.
If all you need is raw storage
I guess this is the same price as google... Move along

Those prices are really, really high compared to Amazon for anything approaching a TB.

My O365 account is around $60 for unlimited storage which is much cheaper than Amazon or Google. That's ODfB rather than OD.

The Amazon Cloud Drive that Scott mentioned is also $60 a year... I would seriously consider these services if I wasn't already paying about that for Crashplan.

My Amazon is actually unlimited, not limited to 4TB or less as ODfB is limited to, and only $60. Maybe you got one of the magic ODfB accounts, but they can't be guaranteed. I have one and there are huge limits on it. I can't get one even close to 1TB.

Really? It's an eye-watering $500 here:

And comes with all of the other O365 goodness.... the reality though, unless MS has fixed it, you can't store more than, was it 10 or 20 thousand files in it?

That will be gone by the end of the year according to this http://blog.programframework.com/office365/holy-odfb-file-limits-none/
So I might renew after all.

I've lost faith in their "unlimited" claims. They've cried wolf on this way too much.

That's odd since I bought my Amazon Cloud Drive in Europe and it was the same as the US price.

Crashplan and Amazon Cloud are two different types of services Crashplan is for backups and archives not for immediate access. Cloud storage would be for immediate access only.

True, true. Sadly, some of us are just broke college employees, lol. I have plenty of local storage at home (3TB in 'server', another 3TB for local Crashplan, and also Crashplan in the cloud)... I'm covered. 8-)
