Microsoft has started increasing OneDrive’s file size limit from 2GB to an unknown new maximum. The change was first spotted by Reddit user megaman821 and confirmed by multiple replies on the site. We got in touch with Microsoft to confirm the change.

“As we mentioned on our uservoice, we have started the work to increase the file size limit for all OneDrive accounts,” a Microsoft spokesperson told TNW. “We have started the process with a small number of customers and will continue to roll it out to our full customer base. We will have more to share on this update in the near future, stay tuned to the OneDrive blog.”

Well it's about darn time.....I never understood the upload size limit constraints in the first place. Why offer an alternative storage system and then limit how you can use it....just doesn't make any sense to me. I'm really glad to get these piece of news...I'm starting to use Onedrive more and more...I just wish MS would make the "free" storage at least 50 GB instead of the 15 GB it's at.
