Microsoft claimed that some users of its “unlimited” tier had been exploiting the service by uploading terabytes of home media files but would not explain why free storage had been reduced.

OneDrive users were understandably upset. The long-standing offer of an extra 15GB free for turning on automatic camera-roll back-up from mobile devices was also slated for removal, giving customers just a sixth of the free storage they once had.
