End of Samsung's idyll with Microsoft and OneDrive? The brand could stop offering 100 GB of free cloud storage

One of the claims of companies to attract users to their platforms is to form associations between them. Hardware and software go hand in hand and we have seen many examples, one of the most common being that which relates cloud storage to mobile devices.

Samsung is an expert on this topic. A few years ago, it offered up to 48 GB of storage in Dropbox, the popular application to save data in the cloud, if we registered from a branded phone.The offer passed away and it was Microsoft that took over offering up to 100 GB for two years to owners of a Galaxy terminal But every idyll has its end .

Goodbye to 100 GB for free?

It was in 2015 when the Korean firm Samsung and the American company Microsoft thought it would be a good idea to offer 100 GB of free cloud storage to users who registered with a Galaxy terminal. Although they are terminals with a large capacity in terms of storage and most of them allow the use of a microSD card, those 100 GB were always welcome.

You have to think that the price of having space in the cloud varies between the different platforms. And in this sense it is worth making a brief reminder in table form of the main services.

OneDrive	iCloud	Dropbox	Google One	Box	Amazon Drive
5 GB Free	50 GB 0.99 euros/month	2 GB Free	100 GB 19, 99 euros/year	10 GB Free	10 GB Free
100 GB 2 euros/month	200 GB 2.99 euros/month	2 TB 9.99 euros/month	200 GB 29.99 euros/year or 2.99 euros/month	100 GB 9 euros/month	1 TB 99.99 euros/year
	2 TB 9.99 euros/month	3 TB 16, 58 euros/month	2 TB 99.99 euros/year or 9.99 euros/month		2 TB 199, 98 euros/year

As we can see, Microsoft values ​​those 100 GB at a total of 2 euros per month, so that if the record was from a Galaxy, we saved that fee for two years. An important expense that we removed from the account each month and that now can have the hours counted.

"

And it is that the agreement has been maintained until April 1, 2019 without changes, since from that date the promo> "

According to the popular media, the agreement between both companies could have passed away, so that the terminals of the Galaxy family that reach the market from now on could not take advantage of this offer and among those affected would be the long-awaited Samsung Galaxy Note 10 that will be presented on August 7.

For now it is only a rumor, since neither of the two companies have made any official statement, so we will have to be attentive to any news that may be produced in this regard.
