[quote]Today, storage limits just became a thing of the past with Office 365. Moving forward, all Office 365 customers will get unlimited OneDrive storage at no additional cost. We’ve started rolling this out today to Office 365 Home, Personal, and University customers. The roll out will continue over the coming months, so if you want to be one of the very first to get more storage, go here to put yourself at the front of the line. In the meantime, you can take advantage of the massive capacity you have today by activating the auto upload feature for your camera roll on your phone.[/quote]
Essentially, if you subscribe to office 365 for $7/mo, you get unlimited cloud storage and all of the latest microsoft office. Hands down the best deal in cloud storage right now, I'd say.
I'd take it just so I could pipe uncompressable data into their servers untill the end of days.
I'm not surprised. Their previous offer was 1TB of storage. The average user (including myself) will never use a terabyte of online storage. At least with today's horrendous network speeds they won't.
ill believe it when i see someone store 10tb on it.

Yep, the vast majority won't use over 1TB, so this is kind of an empty promise they don't need to backup.
That's obviously why they did it, but its still pretty useful. I've got massive projects and loads of high-res pictures that I'd like to backup all the time but its just not feasible to. 1TB would cover a lot of it, but I like that I can pretty much just throw whatever I want on there and not have to worry about a limit.
Considering Google Drive and Dropbox are both $10 for 1TB, and this includes a legal always-updated version of office, its pretty nice.
How do I make an entire HFS filesystem look like a .doc?

Make a a .doc file and attach a system image?
if you have access to an .edu email address you get 4 years of office 365 for free
This actually sounds nice. I pay 10 bucks a month for a terabyte on dropbox. I do visual effects, so the image sequences are massive... 170gb on a 10 second project I'm currently doing. EXR files are huge (they are HDR images). I think with the current project there around 5000 images that are all high dynamic range.
2$ for 100gb is all I need
So glad my work is switching from lotus notes to Office 365 next year

I kind of like a limit because it helps me self edit. Also jesus fuck am I awful at organizing my files, having thousands upon thousands of files would be a nightmare.
I am wondering what kind of other cloud storage options are out there though, considering all the disagrees in the OP
What beats $7/mo for unlimited? Google/dropbox I am aware of but they are more expensive, less storage and don't include office. Google is significantly more expensive if you for some reason ever need more than 1TB same price if you just want 100GB ($2). Dropbox is a flat $10/mo for 1TB, or $8.25/mo if you get a full year.
Free wise they are all pretty much the same if you don't include promotional storage (such as 15GB additional on OneDrive for activating camera-roll autoupload to onedrive on your phone).
