Microsoft adjusts OneDrive pricing strategy, free space double month

After Apple, Microsoft is also starting to make a big price adjustment for cloud storage services OneDrive, new pricing is more attractive than before to attract new users, but also greatly increase Office 365 Office software Price competitiveness.

For OneDrive users, the previously free 7GB space was increased to a GB,100GB monthly fee from USD 7.49 to $1.99, while the cost for GB was reduced from $11.49 per month to $3.99 per month. And if you are an Office 365 user, this benefit will be even more tempting, with the bonus storage space exploding from GB to 1 TB. The pricing estimate takes effect from next month.

Angus Logan, head of OneDrive product management, said the price adjustment was not related to cloud storage services, but to better sell Microsoft's office efficiency software. The implication is to further promote the "cloud, mobility and cross-platform" of Office 365 in popularity. There are currently three charging modes for individual users of Office 365, Office 365 home for 5 PCs, priced at $9.99 a month, and only one computer Office 365 Personal is priced at $6.99, and finally for college students Office 365 University Four years 79.99 dollars, equivalent to less than 2 dollars per month.

Looking at all the packages, it's clear that Office 365 is the most cost-effective option, with Office 365 home, 9.99 dollars, priced to match Google's 1TB storage space. Google has previously tried to impact Microsoft's position in office software through free office apps and Low-cost cloud storage space, and after completing the Office series and this smart price adjustment, Microsoft has slashed Office 365 costs with the name of cloud storage, which shows Logan Words are not empty.

It is worth mentioning that Apple has also recently adjusted its cloud services, and at the WWDC conference Apple announced the new ICloud Drive. Apple offers users 5 GB of free space, 0.99 dollars a month's GB package and a $3.99 GB package.
