Until MS decides to shrink your quota again.
And its been shrunk to 5GB unless you jumped through hoops a month or two ago;[^] and even then that's down from as much as 30GB free if you'd played opt in games with them before. As grudging as they were in backtracking to 15GB, I suspect at some point in the future they'll decide to elephant you over again and force you to pay to keep it.
For breaking the cardinal rule of cloud storage - Thou Shall not Shrink User Quotas - MS has made certain that I'll never use their cloud offerings because murphy's law gaurantees that the next time they'll decide to elephant their customers will be when I'm too busy with other stuff to deal with it. A handful of whale's taking advantage of an unlimited tier to store stupidly many TB of data is something that every other provider who offers unlimited storage has had to deal with; MS has no excuse for being caught by surprise on this; and even less of an excuse for not adjusting the price if needed so that the people paying for the convenience of unlimited without using crazy amounts earn enough to cover the handful of users with insane amounts of data.
Freaking out when customers at the free tier were actually using as much storage as offered is even more pathetic.
Elephant onedrive today. Elephant onedrive tomorrow. Elepant onedrive forever.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Not to undermine the sadness of the occasion but isn't El Tel, Terry Venables?
Anyway, life without Wogan popping up here and there, especially for Children In Need, is definitely going to be less entertaining. Could we have a ban on people dying for the rest of the year now, please?
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

I could say: "Speak for yourself!", but I won't, because you are probably right!

Well, to a nice little cul-de-sac with a quaint park and a duck pond.
