Wow, that's super aggressive from Microsoft.

I hope Dropbox have been preparing for this day.

Cheers OP

With the 100gb free last week and now this 100gb free I now have 226GB of free storage on my OneDrive and nothing to put on it :P

Fingleberries

Sweet lament, I'm a sucker for an offer - after already claiming the 100GB from Bing Rewards and the 10TB from office 365 (I got it with the cheap Stream 7), I still claimed this.

Now, what to put on it?

myshirt

Say you rack up the 100gb.... what are you gonna do with it when the year is up?

RossieMan

you can still access it As far as i know.
you just can't add to it.

Alanstrainor

I now have 227GB....

Cheers OP! Very aggressive campaign by Microsoft.

Dont suppose last weeks one is still available? Anyone got a link?

Balls, my dropbox is 7GB+ oversized so I can't save the file, I really must clean it up.

Can anyone confirm that? Would be great if true.

Same here, I wonder does your login email have to be the same on dropbox as it is on OneDrive

100 GB of OneDrive is valid for 1 year from redemption. Offer limited to current Dropbox users in US and first 10 million recipients. Internet and mobile fees may apply. Limit: One offer redemption per person/account.

Bhangraman

Doesn't work for me so I emailed for help OneDrive@microsoft.com

unkel

Same error here...

Maybe MS data center in D22 is full

RossieMan

you may want to take your name off that picture.

not sure if it matters to you or not.

Tinder Surprise

Yep I am getting the same error.

anyone able to get around it?

Thanks OP btw

camz09

Worked for me just there now! The one not working for me is the other BA Offer (100gb free from OneDrive as is)

Bhangraman

OK so maybe it means that we can only accept either offer as I had already accepted the other.

RossieMan

i've got both working. did the other one last week, however.

wiz569

Both working here as well

Grab All Association

4TB now I don't use Dropbox.

lintdrummer

It worked for me on the 5th or 6th attempt. The other offer isn't available to me because I'm outside the US apparently.

Mark Tapley

I got 1 year office 365 with 1TB One Drive free with a tablet. The terms say if you don't renew the subscription your space goes down to 15GB . If the same applies with this offer you could end up with a lot stuff to move or buy space.

Big Lar

Thanks OP, was losing 48Gb of dropbox space that I got via Samsung at the end of the month

unkel

Yeah worked here now too. MS servers were probably a bit overwhelmed earlier

Have 240GB now, all free

Also have 2 * 1TB that came free with my free Office 365 that came free with my 2 * €40 Linx 7 Windows 8.1 tablets (now running Windows 10. Also free. I like free )

If people need a way to move their stuff across check out mover.io

Haven't used it but it lools good.

And it's free

Trying this now for a migration from dropbox to onedrive. Looks like a very nice tool.

How do you guys upload to onedrive to make use of it?

I tested the below to map a drive to the space, but its a nasty hack (needs office installed)

https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2478800



Id rather be able archive stuff to onedrive rather than syncing (ie. i dont want to have local on every machine that will access it).

Bhangraman

Worked for me now, they seemed to have fixed backend issues on their end:

Tinder Surprise

Yep working now! ..Im up to 250gb

Mr. G

Nice one

230GB free space now! How come the rest of you have 250GB?

moonboy52

To keep the free space. Make a second account (use your main account too if you want), upload your 100gb/200gb and revoke the permissions given from:

https://account.live.com/consent/Manage

And AFAIK you can keep the storage but obviously you cannot add or remove data.

I could be wrong of course

I'm at 226GB myself. that should be enough for me.

percy212

This would be great if it didn't require office. All that free space becomes very usable as a mapped drive....hopefully ms will figure that out...

If you have an MSDN Account, you can get an office 365 business account. And that comes with unlimited storage space.

I signed up for Office on my MSDN...
Space didnt change. Still 240G.
How do you activate the extra space?

You have to register your account to be put on the list - it's a way for MS to prioritise those who actually want the extra space.
