From CNET: Microsoft has back-pedalled on cuts it made to OneDrive cloud storage limits last month, giving back some of the data allowances it was set to take away and apologising for putting the blame on users for excessive use.
Customers will still need to opt-in to keep their bonus storage, though, and the changes will expire after a year.
The company confirmed the changes in a post on its OneDrive user forum, offering users "impacted" by the changes the opportunity to get additional storage for a limited time, and the chance to opt-in to keep free storage bonuses when OneDrive plans are overhauled early next year.
The mea culpa comes a month after Microsoft announced major changes to its cloud storage, halving storage limits for paid plans (whilst keeping the price unchanged), reducing limits on free plans from 15GB to 5GB, ditching its 15GB camera roll storage bonus and completely scrapping 'unlimited' storage for all users.
The company is hoping the move will appease customers and curry some favour in an already competitive cloud storage market.
