If I cancel Microsoft 365, do I also lose OneDrive storage?

Yes. Microsoft 365 Personal and Family include 1 TB of OneDrive storage per person. Cancelling Microsoft 365 reduces your OneDrive to the free 5 GB tier after your subscription ends.

What happens to files that exceed the free 5 GB limit?

Files above 5 GB are not immediately deleted. Microsoft places your account in a read-only state for files over the limit for 30 days, then files may be permanently deleted if you remain over the limit.

Can I keep OneDrive without paying for Microsoft 365?

Yes. Microsoft sells a standalone OneDrive 100 GB plan for about $1.99/month, which is separate from Microsoft 365. You can switch to this if you only need storage and not Office apps.

Tips mod fastholdelse

We notice you're cancelling your OneDrive storage. Your documents, photos, and PC backup will stop syncing once your plan ends. If Microsoft 365 feels too expensive, a standalone 100 GB OneDrive plan is only $1.99/month. Would you like to switch to that instead of cancelling entirely?
