Late Monday, Microsoft made sweeping changes to OneDrive, citing abuse of its former unlimited storage deal for consumers.
"A small number of users backed up numerous PCs and stored entire movie collections and DVR recordings," Microsoft said on a company blog. "In some instances, this exceeded 75TB per user or 14,000 times the average."
"Microsoft really back-tracked on this one with consumers," said Patrick Moorhead, principal analyst with Moor Insights & Strategy, in an interview done via instant messaging. "This is counter to what Microsoft and its brand stands for, which is commitment."
Previously, subscribers to Office 365 Home and Office 365 Personal had been allowed unlimited space. Office 365 Home, which costs $10 monthly or $100 annually, offered unlimited storage to up to five users; Office 365 Personal, at $7 monthly or $70 yearly, provided unlimited OneDrive for one user. Those accounts have been rolled back to 1TB, effective immediately for new subscribers. Current subscribers will have 12 months to drop their usage under 1TB.
