About Microsoft OneDrive
OneDrive’s best version is not sold as storage. Microsoft 365 Personal, around $9.99 a month, includes 1 TB of OneDrive plus Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook, making the storage effectively free for anyone needing Office anyway. Windows integration is total (Known Folder backup quietly protects Desktop and Documents), the Personal Vault adds a locked area, and ransomware detection with 30-day file restore is genuinely useful.
Three limits. Encryption is server-side, the 6 TB family tier splits as 1 TB per person (no pooling), and Mac/Linux clients trail the Windows experience. For Windows households, the math is hard to argue with.

Frequently asked questions
Who is behind Microsoft OneDrive?
Microsoft OneDrive is run by Microsoft. That is the name on your invoice, in the terms and in the company register, while the website itself shows only the brand. If you searched for the company name and landed here, you are in the right place.
Is there a Microsoft OneDrive discount?
Yes, through annual billing. The Microsoft 365 Basic plan then costs $1.67 a month instead of $1.99 on a monthly plan, so the cost is 16% lower.
