Microsoft 365 Family and Premium plans to reduce shared OneDrive storage
Key points
- Microsoft 365 Family and Premium plans will get 2TB shared storage.
- Previously, these plans offered 1TB per user, totaling 6TB for six users.
- Changes will affect shared AI usage and cloud storage benefits.
- Subscribers exceeding 2TB will face additional costs for more storage.
Microsoft 365 Storage Reduction
Microsoft announced upcoming changes to its Microsoft 365 Personal, Family, Premium, and Pro subscriptions. The primary impact for many users will be a reduction in shared OneDrive storage. These changes are scheduled to roll out "in the coming months."
New Storage Limits for Family and Premium Plans
Currently, Microsoft 365 Family, Premium, and Pro plans provide 1TB of OneDrive storage per member. For a Family plan with six users, this totals 6TB. Under the new structure, Microsoft 365 Family and Premium plans will receive a shared pool of 2TB for the entire subscription. While individual accounts and files remain private, their usage will draw from this communal 2TB limit.
The new Microsoft 365 Pro plan, launched in September, offers 5TB of shared storage and higher AI usage limits, but costs $100 per month.
Financial Impact on Subscribers
Subscribers to Microsoft 365 Family and Premium plans who currently utilize more than 2TB of total storage across their accounts will be directly affected. To maintain their current storage levels, these users will either need to reduce their data usage or purchase additional OneDrive storage. Each additional 1TB of OneDrive storage will cost $10 per month, adding to the base annual cost of a Microsoft 365 Family plan, which is $130.
