    I suppose this means Microsoft will not count Word doc file sizes against users’ cloud storage quotas, right? Right??

      It’ll be like Google: everything goes in, nothing comes out unless you jump through difficult hoops, price continually goes up.

        If you’re in the EU, you can apply for a GDPR request to get sent a copy of all your data in their cloud, same for iCloud. Takes about 48 hours in my experience.

        Getting anything out is already almost impossible. I moved sway from 3rd party cloud storage a couple years back. I had to get 500gb from onedrive and it was refusing to download at anything more than 50kb/s (my internet was significantly better than that)

      No, they upload your file, delete the local file, then oopsie, you ran out of cloud storage, please pay $99/month to access your files.
