Microsoft harmed a lot of people last month when it announced plans to stopping unlimited OneDrive storage for Office 365 subscribers and downgrade the free limit from 15GB to just 5GB.So, on Friday, Microsoft apologized to these customers and announced it is changing its policy, again. It is giving them the chance to get their 15GB of free storage back.
Microsoft won’t back unlimited plans
Microsoft is not, however, going back to unlimited free storage. In fact, as Business Insider previously reported, months before Microsoft formally withdrew that promise, the company had been dragging its feet on honoring it.
When Microsoft formally announced it was backtracking, it blamed customer abuse, saying a few people were storing too much stuff in their unlimited OneDrive accounts.
“You’re an important part of what we do, and we want to make sure you know that,” Microsoft said in a note to OneDrive users. “That’s why we’re making it possible for you to keep your base storage quota and camera roll bonus, even after the changes roll out.”
