News from Microsoft about OneDrive

• Subscribers to Office 365 non-business editions (Home,
  Personal, and University), will receive 1 TB of OneDrive storage per user. For
  the small number of OneDrive users who had their storage allotment boosted to 10
  TB and have used some or all of that space, the extra storage will continue to
  be available for at least 12 months. A full refund is available for any customer
  who isn’t satisfied with that decision.

• Anyone with a free OneDrive account who currently has more than
  5 GB of content stored will receive one free year of Office 365 Personal, which
  includes 1 TB of storage. This offer will arrive via email early next year.
  

• For OneDrive customers who currently have a 15 GB free storage
  allotment and a 15 GB camera roll bonus, Microsoft is offering to preserve those
  features, but only for those who opt in using this
  link, which is valid until
  January 31, 2016.

• All OneDrive customers with free accounts who do not opt in to
  the loyalty offer will see their free storage cut to 5 GB and the camera roll
  bonus will disappear.
