1T Free of One Drive

[David Tapp]

Hey guys\gals

I know when you activate your free 1 year subscription of Office 365 you get 1 T of One Drive cloud storage. However,I was wondering if the 1T of cloud storage disappears if you do not re-subscribe Office 365 after the year is up? I did not want to fill up my One Drive, and then have to turn around and empty it in a year. Does anyone have any idea of this?

What I’ve read is that OneDrive wont delete your data if you exeed your quota, you just wont be able to upload anything until you have cleared enough space below quota limit. So 1Tb -> 30Gb drop, data should be there and downloadable, but you cannot upload anything until you are under 30Gb usage.

Haven’t tested this my self though.

Maybe I was not clear in my post. I was wondering if after the year was up for the free subscription (through Teclast) of Office 365 and it was not re-subscribed would you loose the 1T maximum and revert back to the basic free plan of 15GB? Hope this is a little clearer.

Yes you would drop back down to whatever you had before you got the free 1Tb. They give out 15gb extra if you install the mobile app and turn on camera uploads. You can uninstall the app right away once you’ve got the extra storage.
