I'm waiting for the 10TB upgrade to come through...

(Office 365 subscription).

If it goes to 10TB I'll have to find a way to back my WHS2011 rig to it.

Thanks, just realized I have 1.12 TB of space I never use....

Thanks very much for the update on this! Comes in handy!

It's free so why not eh?

Up to 1.25 tb space 600mb used. If I had fibre I would consider hosting my Machine images on there (split into 2gb files).

if you have a dropbox account, they'll give another 100GB for a year...

you just need to verify by saving a file to your dropbox account.

FYI OneDrive apparently has a limit of 20,000 files... which is a bit annoying considering they're pushing out this 10TB space / unlimited space for Office 365 users.

I'm an Office 365 user and have yet to receive me "unlimited" space

200gb within a couple of days?! Sure... OK... Too much cloud space

Is there no way to choose a folder on your PC and sync it to one drive like there is in dropbox. I don't want to manually manage all my files. I'm on 8.1 which I think is the problem as I'm sure 7 let you do this.

Go to https://preview.onedrive.com I got an email giving me the 10TB after a few days. In the email it says to contact them if you require more storage but apparently there is no limit, but as I say you can only upload 20,000 files at the moment.

I can definitely choose on the W7 app, must be different apps? It's integrated into W8 isn't it?

I can't get the second offer to work :-(
