How Much Storage Do You Get With OneDrive

Carnival Boy

I've got an extra 10GB due to a loyalty bonus they offered a couple of years ago. So 40GB total.

Why do you ask?

scottalanmiller

Because I keep hearing people talk about getting huge amounts but this is all that I see. Wondering who is actually getting this big accounts.

Carnival Boy

For free? Dunno. I haven't heard that.

I have 1TB on my OneDrive for Business account, but I pay for that. And you can pay for extra storage with OneDrive as well, but as far as I've always been aware the free account is limited to 15GB.

hmmmm... I have an O365 but it doesn't show up giving me anything. How do you pull that one off?

The camera roll bonus is NOT just for photos. It's a bonus/reward because you "auto Upload" photos from your camera roll (even if it's just one to nab the bonus).

The weird amounts are probably from referral bonuses.

Personal account
Options --> Storage

Referral bonus:

Invite friends to join OneDrive
For each friend who signs into OneDrive as a new customer, both you and your friend will receive an extra 0.5 GB of free storage (max 5 GB).

Maybe you're being done! According to Microsoft O365 personal accounts include 1TB storage by default:

Ah, it is a special kind of O365 account. Mine doesn't count, I guess.

So people with corporate accounts don't get it or have to pay twice? That's pretty crappy. So the 1TB is actually crazy expensive.

Carnival Boy

Corporate O365 accounts get 1TB of ODfB. Personal O365 accounts get 1TB of OneDrive. I'm not sure what the issue is?

Ah, the personal account is not getting this in ADDITION to an ODfB storage too? I guess that makes sense.

nadnerB

To find the storage amount for my ODfB account, I had to go digging.
Office 365 site --> One Drive --> Settings --> Storage Metrics (under Site Collection Administration )

30GB is all I have.

I did that Bing promotion (and felt filthy afterward) and got 100GB extra. So 130 total, plus 30 under my personal email. I realized my camera phone should definitely NOT be syncing with my work computer, so I made the personal account just for camera backup.

Those with O365 accounts, not generic OneDrive free accounts. Yeah I had to look this up a little while ago.

But, how does that work? Office 365 Onedrive is groove (sharepoint storage). I it didn't seem like you could use normal OneDrive with my office 365 account, I had to make a Microsoft account with the same email as my 365 email, but it's still 30GB. I don't really consider ODfB the same as OneDrive.

I think you're confusing O365 Business accounts with O365 Home accounts.

O365 Business does use ODfB, but home I'm pretty sure uses normal OneDrive.

To me the most confusing part is that O365 Home does not include email, it's really only the Office apps and OneDrive. If you want email, you use the free Outlook.com account.

I thought we were talking about business accounts here.

The 30 GB limit that Scott is seeing as posted in the OP is Free OneDrive, not something related to any version of O365.

To keep everyone on the same page, using ODfB will ensure everyone is talking about the business version, and OneDrive is usually only used to refer to the free version (with additional storage purchased if desired).
