With the basic rate, there is only access to 5 GB but it is free One more step, for 2 euros a month, we have access at 100 GB, an interesting price although it is higher than that of Google Drive, which offers those 100 GB for 19.99 euros per year (at Microsoft, it costs 24 euros annually). If you want more, you must jump to 1TB and you will have to jump directly to Office 365.
In this case, there are two rates that already include the office suite Office, allowing you to use Word, Excel and the rest of the tools Microsoft in its always updated version with all the news together with cloud storage and different extras.
In addition, all versions of OneDrive, free and paid, have mobile apps for iOS and Android, the option for cloud synchronization, search options, photo synchronization, file editing, file request and advanced synchronization technology.
If you want to get more space or change your rate, just access the Microsoft OneDrive Plans page where we will see in an enlarged way, the table that we have outlined before. It is the image you have on these lines.
Just click on the plan you want to purchase and then log in with your Microsoft account. A new window opens to start the purchase process in the Microsoft Store with these three steps: selection, confirmation and completion.
After purchase, the OneDrive rate will be linked directly to the Microsoft account from which you made the purchase.
"And if what we want is to improve the storage capacity we already have, just access directly from the personal website of OneDrive and on the left margin, from the list of options, click on the button Manage storage and then on the new page, on Upgrade, to expand cloud space."
The process guides us step by step until the moment of paying in which we have to add the method with which we want to pay the specific amount .
In addition, we will see that the option Get more appears in the lower area, a formula to gain a little extra capacity and do it for free , if we invite friends and acquaintances through a link that we can share on social networks."
