That isn't July.... And I just ran out of space last night during an upload. Ugh.
Need to rethink the plans for the next couple of weeks.
I think I'm going to buy a month to get me room while out of town. Then when the 1TB rolls out I will be fine.
I wish it had rolled out July 1 though.

I just switched to iDrive (who also do iDriveSync but iDrive is cheaper and virtually the same). None of the strange "your data is mine" policies of MS and just as cheap.

The only other problem is of course it takes ages to upload 150gb of photo and video but that is going to happen whoever you choose.
I really don't know what you mean by 'just as cheap'. It's nothing like it! With MS you get 5 x 1Tb for about £50 per year, and that also includes 5 Office licences plus iPad apps.
I am a paid subscriber of OneDrive & Dropbox and the problem I have with OneDrive is speed. It's just so damn slow!
As an example, I uploaded around 1GB of mixed files on Dropbox yesterday and OneDrive took 70 times as long to upload the same data, this is not a one-off, it's always vastly inferior compared to Dropbox. Maybe Microsoft use data centres in Europe that are just complete crap, I don't know. It'd be interesting to hear if North American users have to put up with awful performance with OneDrive uploads & downloads like we do in Europe.

Yeah, well, not that the USA law would be reasonable, nor fit their own constitution, ... See all the Snowden leaks, and FISA court approvals, ... And of course all the US spying affects me, my emails, SMS, ... And yes, unfortunately most customers, clients send me data, contracts etc. unencrypted via email and such, ...
Microsoft even searched the files themselves, if they see fit, e.g. see that Windows leaker, ...
And yes, I won't store my data in some external datacenter, ... why should I?
----------
Sure, if you ask me they could close all this money wasting spy services, ... better invest that in development aid and greener energy and such, ... make the world a better place for all of us.
Why would I print my secret files? I better keep them encrypted on a hidden storage device, ... certainly not sending them to third party companies, ... or printed them out in plaintext, ... ?!?

ack
I didn't say it was constitutional, nor did I say it was right. I just said it was happening.
And now Microsoft has bumped that 1TB to unlimited.
