Way back when it was SkyDrive, for some reason I was given some huge (for the time) amount of space "for life". Can't remember why. For being a Windows dev maybe? Idk.

Some years later, I did an Office sub for a couple years, which also came with OneDrive space. When I let the Office sub expire, the fuckers took away my lifetime space. Cunts.

If I remember correctly skydrive had unlimited storage with a paid plan at first. but ofc some guys uploaded terabytes of data so they eventually got rid of the unlimited plan.

What did they expect? Unlimited storage = I'm going to use it

[–] [email protected] 18 points 4 weeks ago

A classic case of having their cake (the marketing benefits of offering unlimited storage) and eating it too (not wanting anyone to use any storage)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

The amount of people that actually use a huge amount is pretty small, which is why Backblaze can still offer unlimited storage to this day

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

With backblaze the price increases as you store more.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Only with the business plans. The personal plan has unlimited storage for a flat price

This?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

Yes

Same happened with Google Drive

Probably just an automated system, they’d have probably given it back if you said something.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 weeks ago

Often saying something can be a huge hassle, so if they didn’t it’s completely understandable. Especially true if their time is worth more than the subscription.
