how do I get more one drive storage

Its not simple. We can get the 100 GB plan for $1.99 why can't we just get more space without paying for all that software no one needs anyway?

There is nothing wrong with using the free options, so why restrict more disk space to paying for **** software?

To get more OneDrive storage, you have several options:

1. Purchase Additional Storage:
   • Microsoft offers various subscription plans that include additional OneDrive storage. These plans are often bundled with Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365) subscriptions. Check the Microsoft website for the latest pricing and plans.
2. Microsoft 365 Subscription:
   • Consider upgrading your Microsoft 365 subscription. Many Microsoft 365 plans come with OneDrive storage as part of the package. Depending on the plan, you can get additional storage space.
3. OneDrive Referral Bonuses:
   • Some promotions may offer additional storage for referrals. Check for any referral programs or bonuses that Microsoft may be running.
4. Earn Extra Storage:
   • Microsoft occasionally runs promotions or activities that allow you to earn extra storage. For example, completing certain tasks or activities associated with your Microsoft account may grant you additional OneDrive space.
5. Free Storage Offers:
   • Keep an eye out for special promotions or offers that provide free OneDrive storage. Microsoft may occasionally run promotions, especially during product launches or events.
6. Student or Work Accounts:
   • If you have a school or work account associated with Microsoft, you may have access to additional storage as part of your institution's subscription. Check with your IT department or administrator for details.
7. Optimize and Manage Existing Storage:
   • Before purchasing additional storage, consider optimizing your current storage. Delete unnecessary files or move them to an external drive. Clearing up space can be an effective way to manage your existing storage.

Remember that the availability of these options may vary depending on your location and Microsoft's current promotions. Always check the official Microsoft website or contact Microsoft support for the most accurate and up-to-date information on obtaining more OneDrive storage.

How does Microsoft storage work? - Microsoft Support

for office 365 work or school user's storage space in the Microsoft 365 admin center.

1. Sign in to https://admin.microsoft.com as a global or SharePoint admin. (If you see a message that you don't have permission to access the page, you don't have Microsoft 365 admin permissions in your organization.)

2. In the left pane, select Users > Active users.

3. Select the user.

4. Select the OneDrive tab.

5. Under Storage used click Edit.

6. Select the Maximum storage for this user option, and type the storage limit that you want to use.

7. Click Save.

• When a user has filled their 5 TB of OneDrive storage to at least 90% capacity, Microsoft will increase your default storage space in OneDrive to up to 25 TB per user (admins may set a lower per-user limit if they want to). The storage limit will be reset to 5 TB if OneDrive storage utilization drops below 90% of the 5 TB capacity.
• For any user that reaches at least 90% capacity of their 25 TB of OneDrive storage, additional cloud storage will be provided as 25 TB SharePoint team sites to individual users. For more information and assistance, contact Microsoft Support.
• Admins can check for OneDrive eligibility beyond 5 TB via Check OneDrive site eligibility for increased storage.

Your understanding and patience will be highly appreciated.

If there is any misunderstanding, please feel free to correct me.

Have a nice day!

Best regards,
