Onedrive users - act today to keep your storage quota

I think it's been posted before, but because the Forum's search facility is seemingly broken at the moment, I can't find it.

Anyway, if you use Microsoft's Onedrive, you need to act today (if you haven't already) to stop them cutting your storage quota.

Just as a reminder, today is the last day when OneDrive users—which is to say, most Windows users—can claim their free 15 GB of online storage before Microsoft reverts to the new level of 5 GB.

You may recall that Microsoft in November infamously stepped back from its previous OneDrive promises. It dropped plans to offer unlimited storage to Office 365 customers and, as bad, dropped the amount of free storage on offer from 15 GB to 5 GB.

But after customers predictably reacted with outrage, Microsoft stepped back from the cliff a month later and offered some concessions.

Key among these concessions was grandfathered free storage. That is, customers who are disappointed about the reduction in free storage could opt-in to continue using it going forward. So if you were receiving 15 GB of free OneDrive storage and/or 15 GB from a previous camera roll promotion, you could opt-in and retain that storage.

That offer was temporary, however. And today–January 31, 2016–is the last day you can take advantage of it. So if you don’t opt-in today, it’s over, and the amount of free storage your OneDrive account will revert to 5 GB, from whatever level you’re at today.
