OneDrive starts cutting free storage down to 5GB

Microsoft has been telling customers who didn't opt in to keep their 15GB OneDrive storage that it's about to start reducing free accounts to 5GB.

The company has also decided to get rid of the 15GB free camera roll backup, making many OneDrive customers very unhappy indeed.

Microsoft did tell customers to sign up in order to keep all their free goodness earlier in the year, but those unlucky ones who weren't quick off the mark will find they have a whole lot less free storage from July 13th or July 27th.

"There are some important changes to OneDrive, and we wanted to follow up on our previous email to ensure you were aware of them," Microsoft wrote to free account users.

"If you don't bring your OneDrive account under the new limits in the next 14 days, your account will become read only you'll be able to read your content, but not upload files," the company continued.

"If you do not take action in one year, your content may be deleted."
