One drive question

aj9648

Hi

I've been using one drive for a while now and really like it especially auto transfer of photos from my phone. Unfortunately I've come to the end of my storage of 42gb built up over 10years!! I pay 49p each month but now MS are asking me to upgrade which costs a lot more!!

I don't really want to move to another provider and like the fact all photos are in one place and I am organise them easily. So what are my options?

Firstly my company have a enterprise office license and I've take advantage of d/l feee copy of 365 which comes with one drive space but that would mean decoupling from my personal address.

Also I've seen these deals on eBay for limetime storage but as far as I can see I have to use their email address.

Any other options out there for me? Or is there a way round the above 2 options so I can keep my persona address?

Do you have a windows phone? If not and it's Android all you photos should be uploaded automatically to Google photos. Mine upload to both One Drive and Google photo's from my Samsung phone.
The advantage of Google photo's is that the storage is unlimited.
This is one area where MS have shot themselves in the foot. They have a really good cloud system and then restrict it to 50Gb unless you use Office 365.
I'm lucky and have 200Gb of free storage (Gained from offers etc) although I don't use it to store more than about 20Gb of stuff.

No it's an iPhone

My ipad uploads photos straight to Google Photos, so I suspect an iphone will too.

That'll do the same. Apologies, I rarely think about iPhones any more.;)
