Earlier this month, Microsoft announced 1 TB of OneDrive storage for all versions of Office 365, including the 5-person home version that costs $9.99 per month and the personal version costing $6.99 per month.
Microsoft said the landscape for online services is quickly changing and that merely providing cloud storage is table stakes. By providing 1 TB with Office 365, Microsoft effectively supersedes the storage-only providers. For those who only want online storage and not Office 365, OneDrive pricing has been cut 70% to $1.99 for 100GB and $3.99 for 200GB.
