    Any recommended ways in particular, I tried a few proxies before with no luck.

    edit: never mind, got it. Thanks OP.

    Nice. Thank you!

    Now, I really need to get grips with OneDrive. A year ago just before moving back to Ireland, I thought I backed up everything to OneDrive, only to discover that although the files were showing up in the desktop app, most were not copied to the cloud - it seems it did not copy over any nested folders. Fortunately I had also copied over all the files to an external hard-drive. Now I'm finally trying to getting everything organized - local storage on two computers, external hard-drive and the partially-copied files on OneDrive. At least now I won't have to worry about running out of space in the near future.

    Was going to say how I got around it but don't think were allowed to talk about VPN's and such here.

    Your welcome guys :)

    Someone has claimed here they have done it without VPN but when I tried without one it wouldn't work.

    Out of curiosity why would taking about VPN be not allowed here?
    I'm completely puzzled...

    On the gaming forums and the netflix, They dont allow any talk of bypassing regional restictions, Dont know if thats site wide or not, Mod could clarify of course.

    They can be used for other 'nefarious' purposes.

    My Microsoft account thinks I'm a 107-year-old male located in the US, but Bing is detecting my Irish IP address and won't let me sign up for the Rewards scheme. Anyone got any other workarounds that don't involve, eh, unmentionable methods?

    Still no joy :/

    You have to use other proxy or VPN...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 441 ✭✭ripcord


    IF you fill up all the space - after two years, will Microsoft remove it and automatically delete whatever files it wants?

    Or does anyone think they may allow you to keep it (i.e. have they done something like this in the past)?

    Thanks.




  • They won't delete anything but you won't be able to add anything.

    Its only 1.99 a month after that, so its not much really when you think of it.

    And at that stage maybe 100GB+ free might be standard.

    They seem to do offers fairly often, and they usually stack. So if you have 100GB now for 2 years, and they run a similar offer in a few months it would add another 2 years.

    Used Freedome in earlier bargain alert to get this.

    Not cool.

    Did you lose the 100GB offer from OneDrive as well?

    Just used cyber ghost to a US server.
    found a zip code and telephone number for the area and got my 100 gb.

    Now to see if it gets cancelled.
