Microsoft OneDrive
Microsoft's cloud storage, with 5 GB free and larger amounts through Microsoft 365 plans.
Our verdict
What it does well
- Free Microsoft storage plan of 5 GB for one person
- Apps for Windows, macOS, iOS and Android plus web access
- Paid plans range from 100 GB (Basic) to 5 TB shared (Pro)
Where it falls short
- The free 5 GB is much smaller than Google's free 15 GB
- Microsoft's system requirements page does not list Linux
- Family, Premium and Pro storage terms changed from October 8, 2026
OneDrive is Microsoft's cloud storage and file sync service. Microsoft's system requirements page lists the sync app for Windows 10 22H2 or Windows 11 and macOS 15.8 or newer, mobile apps for iOS 18.0 or later and Android 8.0 or later, and access in Edge, Chrome, Firefox or Safari. Linux is not listed.
Microsoft's storage quotas page lists a free 5 GB Microsoft storage plan for one person. Paid cloud storage comes with Microsoft 365 plans: Basic 100 GB for one person, Personal 1 TB for one person, Family and Premium 2 TB shared by up to six people for new subscriptions from October 8, 2026 (existing subscriptions keep 1 TB per person until renewals from May 2, 2027), and Pro 5 TB shared for new subscriptions from October 8, 2026. Personal, Family, Premium and Pro can be extended up to 10 TB.
We could not read a Microsoft page showing US dollar prices, so none are given here. Business plans are not covered.
