What you need to know

  • OneDrive users can now get 100GB of storage for $2 per month.
  • The $2 per month plan previously got users 50GB of storage.
  • Office 365 users recently gained the option to purchase more than 1TB of OneDrive storage.

OneDrive's cheapest paid plan now gets users 100GB of storage for $2 per month. Previously, users on the $2 per month plan only received 50GB of storage. The change was initially announced at the same time that Microsoft enabled the option for Office 365 customers to purchase up to 2TB of OneDrive storage, but the increase seems to be rolling out now (via WindowsUnited).

Microsoft's OneDrive plan page now lists that the $2 per month plan comes with 100GB of storage.

If you're considering switching to the 100GB plan, it's important to know that some OneDrive features that come with Office 365 plans do not come with the $2 per month plan. Sharing expiring links, restoring files, password protected sharing links, and several other features are available for OneDrive users on an Office 365 plan but not on the cheaper 100GB storage plan.

Portable (and affordable) power accessories we love

Each and every one of these charging gadgets will keep your favorite gear and gadgets going for longer, and none of them costs more than $30.

VisionTek 8,000 mAh micro-USB power bank ($13 at Dell)

This compact dual-output powerbank can speedily recharge any and all your devices, thanks to a two-amp "fast charge feature," using its micro-USB out port. Its simple design includes an LED indicator, and it costs about as much as a single ticket to the movies.

Panasonic eneloop AA batteries (From $13 at Dell)

Panasonic's rechargeable batteries are among the best available, and just a couple of them will keep your favorite remote, mice or other peripherals powered up when you need them. They're also eco. And the company's affordable charger fits and charges both AA and AAA batteries at the same time.

Belkin Qi Wireless Charging Pad ($30 at Dell)

This unobtrusive Qi wireless charging pad looks good (and kind of like a UFO …) and easily charges all your Qi-compatible device up to 5W. Its LED indicator lights up when you're charging. And it costs just $30.
