Tonight OneDrive is upping it's free cloud storage to 30 GB. Microsoft is doing this to help all those folks with new iPhones needing more storage, but it applies to anyone with a OneDrive account. That means you with your Windows Phone or those using OneDrive on Android also get 30 GB as the base storage.
15 GB comes as the base, but you can unlock an extra free 15 GB using the camera roll bonus. Just install OneDrive and enable the app to automatically backup your photos from the camera roll.
Are you going to take advantage of the new 30 GB of free OneDrive storage?

Don't delete your apps or photos, OneDrive now offers 30 GB of free storage
hey guys realy inneed of it.....pick me plz
dnt try for iphone. . . Bcz when pratik alwaz want victory
Thank you Microsoft for the extra storage. The service is great and I use it on all my devices.
It's always good to have more storage space.
I was going to but when I logged in, it told me I had a Terrabyte. I'd forgotten about that crap-ton of storage I get on each of my shared Office 365 accounts. It only offered 3 GB extra for photo backup.
Yes!
It's funn that with all that money we the people give to Apple they can't give us more cloud storage and why the iPhone 6 plus didn't come with 64GB as standard?
Awesome 30gb for free, love it.

Taking advantage now!
I will not be using this. I have too much storage as it is. I find myself going to each that I have dropping a pic here and there just to makes sure the accounts are still active.
Out of curiosity how integrated is one drive on Mac? I know on windows you can do like full system backups and it's tied into the OS. Is the Mac app at least worth using?
Thank you Microsoft, now I have 160 GB s of absolutely free storage space..

Nice. I will check this out. Never tried OneDrive. Hopefully Dropbox will follow suit and offer more free storage also.

How much are they currently at? Are they still stuck at 2gb free?
Yep! Still 2gb.

Just checked and looks like I am already getting the extra 15 GB. Was pleasantly surprised to see I am also getting an additional 10 GB for 'Loyalty Bonus'. Not sure what that means, but thank you Microsoft.
You must've been using the service way back when it was called Skydrive,
Check out Bing Rewards for bonus storage. I currently have 130gb of cloud disagree with Onedrive without spending a dime.
My wish is that Apple would offer a good photo storage with automatic upload. They should have bought everpix, that was brilliant
They've recently changed their terms for the better maybe a month and a half ago. I'll glady accept the extra storage. My account was already updated. You can enable the backup and then turn it off immediately afterwards and keep the extra storage permanently. Apple should be offering more than 5GB of free storage for iCloud.

Apple will gladly give you more storage... Just ask... And input a valid credit card number when prompted.

That wouldn't be giving would it smartass... I mean phone? Fact is other cloud services typically have a much higher base allotment.
You're the brainless twit who buys into the Apple hype...

If you don't like Apple, what are you doing here?
As the owner of several Apple products am I not allowed to say that they are crap when it comes to free space in the cloud!?
I agree with you, Apple has crap offerings in terms of cloud space. 5GB free is very much yesteryear. Additionally I prefer being able to organize my files with the likes of OneDrive which I have used since day one. I have over a TB right now because of Office.
And though I hate iCloud with a passion I also have permission to be here since all of my personal electronic devices are made by Apple LOL.
? Says who? Just because he points out that other services offer bigger base amounts?
Lol so true
My question is why are they so desperate for us to upload photos to get the extra 15gb or storage? What are they wanting to do with those photos? Creeps me out a little.
Yeah, Microsoft is too kind and noone reads the terms...

Yeah, and Apple is too stingy and only gives us 5GB of free space in iCloud...
What can they possibly do with your photos? Don't be such a paranoid, clearly Microsoft wants to win the cloud game, heck they want to win every game, and the more storage the better.
They're not. It's just a way to get you using the service.
They want to steal business from Dropbox, who were the first ones to offer camera upload bonuses.
Read the TOS if you are creeped out, but they really are great about providing a shit ton of storage as a cloud backup service.
Best to read the T&C but I get your point. It is the internet
Nobody is interested in your ugly photos. Storage is cheap, they are afraid your ate going to play around with Google Drive and eventually stop using word.

more than likely they going to let the FBI/CIA/NSA index them
there was also another program you get even more up 75G, all that hard-drive space on that new $4Trillton Dollar NSA spy centor
