Booooo. Not happy with this at all.

Microsoft is reducing the amount of storage you get with your Office 365 plan. Currently for the family plans, you get up to 6 users, each of who get 1TB each. Microsoft is now reducing that 6TB total down to 2TB total to be shared across all of the accounts on the plan.

Today, shared Microsoft 365 plans include 1 TB of OneDrive cloud storage for every family member. Microsoft is about to shrink that allotment dramatically.

Hi All,

That's a not very nice move.
Although I think it can work as Onedrive only takes the system drives. And symbolic links count to the system drive too.
But this was to be expected in some way or another.
I braced more for an enormous price hike.
Loved OneDrive Family, to protect friends and family who can't be bothered to back up.
NOT nice MS!!!

Ciao, Han
