Windows Live SkyDrive, Microsoft’s cloud storage solution, has undergone a major overhaul and
Microsoft just introduced paid SkyDrive storage plans
new SkyDrive apps for Windows, Mac and mobile operating systems and lots of new feature additions and improvements.
We’ll be covering the new SkyDrive soon in a detailed article, but first let’s focus on what I believe is the most important piece of information in this entire announcement – how much free storage used to be. The whopping 25GB is now reduced to just 7GB (compared to 25GB) and new SkyDrive users will have to be happy with that. Wait, there’s more. Existing SkyDrive users will only get 25GB of free space if they tell Microsoft they want it. (It’s important to note here that they have automatically upgraded users using more than 4 GB to a 25 GB plan)
So Microsoft played smart here. They do not deny existing users the right to use 25 GB of free storage but at the same time they ensure that the upgrade is manual, which will save them possible unused storage space. used in their next visit. paying customers.
As always, we at Guiding Tech are on the side of the user, that is, on your side. And we want to make sure you know how to stay on top of the massive 25GB free plan before Microsoft decides to revoke the manual upgrade offer. Here are the steps:
Steps to do a quick manual upgrade from 7 GB to 25 GB for free
This will obviously only work for people who have signed up for SkyDrive through their Hotmail or Windows Live accounts before and activated it. Another reason to just sign up for free services even though you might not want to use them right away. You never know when you might need them.
Step 1: Go to the SkyDrive website and sign in to your account.
Step 2: Click on the link that says SkyDrive’s free storage is changing – claim your free 25GB…
Step 3: You should now see a free storage upgrade button. Click it.
That’s all of it really. There’s nothing more to do. You’ll get a pop-up saying you’ve been upgraded to 25GB of storage, meaning you’ve got what you had.
You can verify by checking the storage status in Storage Management on the same page.
So supporting Microsoft to make the upgrade process as easy as pie but I’m affirming my stance that this was never necessary in the first place. Well, what’s better than nothing, so don’t wait for your SkyDrive free storage to run out – sign in to your account now and get it done!
