    They should just give us an option to remove OneDrive altogether so people like me who will never use it can get rid for good.

    That way i'll be donating my "5gb" to someone else who actually might use the PoS.

    I'm glad they did, more reason not to use it.

    I read about this a bit, some people were taking it to the extreme, one person with 75TB of HD video content uploaded

    Only 75TB? I was hoping someone would try for a few thousand petabytes!

    After all, unlimited is unlimited. :banana:

    "....after some of its unlimited subscribers each uploaded more than 75 terabytes of data to its servers."

    If you don't want people to think that your cloud storage service is unlimited, it's probably best not to tell them it is and then start moving goalposts when people take you at your word.

    tbf most "unlimited services" are in no way unlimited, just look at your unlimited phone contract, there will always be a fair usage policy attached. It's a practice that should never have been allowed to continue really.

    agree with option for removing OneDrive

    but like all unlimited storage nowdays, i dont think, they give 5gb static space allocation for a user
    u get 5gb space on shared storage server, but only if u use it, if not it wont allocate free 5gb on ur account, rather that free space is up/open for other people using it

    Not
    2$/month for 50 Gb is more expensive than a SSD.

    One day Crepysoft says one thing, and other day it says other thing. You never know what Creepysoft will do with your data. It may change policies at any moment, without advice.

    ... aaand that corporation tries to download and install any software in secrecy, even entire OS, and his EULA is explicit in which it will destroy my privacy, and rip me off for money.

    Creepysoft is desperate, clingy, high maintenance and too annoying.

    Agreed on alot of things.
    But thankfully my phone really is unlimited.
    Speeds never change wether I use 10gb or 300gb.
    I use it to download large files since crapcast has a 300gb limit.

    No different from Google who tries to track your entire life and sell it to marketing companies.
