Onedrive is dead, were do we go now?

[yehuda92]

Now that OneDrive is being crippled, whats the best way to wirelessly move music onto your Windows Phone and Xbox? Without that storage space, Groove streaming is essentially dead. So whats the next best thing?

It's not dead. Stop being so dramatic.

I use it. I bet like 100million people still use onedrive. I don't think it's dead. I lol'd

We go to Mega. They offer 50gb for free. A nobrainer.

Moving to Google drive now.

Its dead for the purpose I listed. So I am asking for something to replace it.

I would too, but I want to be able to wirelesly sync my music to my WP. I dont think Google lets you do that.

Photos and phone docs will stay at OneDrive, while other office docs will move to Google drive. No choice if not going to pay.

I'm disappointed. I JUST learned about the magic of putting music on OneDrive and being able to play it on WP or a computer without having said computer store those files. I'll have to figure something out now since music can take up a good amount of space. You can decrease the size of a picture to upload to OneDrive but not a music file. Ahhh

I guess this is where I would plug my Copy account's referral link but I'm locked out of my account and support hasn't gotten back to me. How convenient.

Sorry if I missed something... But when did MS announce OneDrive going away?

Take a look at numerous threads on this forum and news items all over the Internet. You might as well Google "OneDrive" since you may want to move everything back to them. In short, starting in 2016 free storage will get crippled down to 5GB, you can purchase 50GB for $2 per month, or get 1TB with a subscription to Office365. Other tiers going away. No more "unlimited."

Already transferred all my stuff to GoogleDrive. Photos go to Flickr. All Sorted.

I didn't realize the difference between alive and dead is $2/month. Life is fragile.

I'm curious about what the soon-to-be-scroogled's OneDrive accounts look like.

If you are a Document-heavy person, why don't you have Office 365? It gives you 1 TB of storage, which is quite a bit.
If you love Groove, why don't you have a Groove Music Pass? It's $30 for a year every Christmas, or $130 in their yearly bundles with Office and whatnot, and it gives you an extra 100 GB on OneDrive too.

I am a heavy OneDrive user. I have 2 PCs fully backed up there, use it on my Lumia 1520, Xbox 360 and my Xbox One as well. Currently I have 184,261 files in it, taking up 344 GB total. With absolutely 0 effort to avoid duplicate backups and whatnot, I'm not even halfway through the 1 TB from Office 365, let alone needing the extra storage from Groove yet.

I mean. Who likes to pay for stuff right. Everything should be free!! What!? No longer free!

Dead!

Gather the pitch forks!

 

[Marko Marjanovic]

Wait, so 5gb free and camera bonus how much?

For me, my documents will always be in OneDrive... The integration that it has with Word, Excel and PowerPoint and Windows as a whole is very valuable... So if my documents cross the minimum 5GB, I'll pay for more... Photos and other media files however I might store them local or probably move them to Mega...

Personally I feel any company can do what MS did so I'm not willing to keep shifting my files around...
