I have a Microsoft 365 personal plan attached to my hotmail email account. How do I use the Microsoft 365 plan with my outlook email account. Specifically the cloud storage.

    Your Outlook account comes with 5GB of storage, and it is separate from your Hotmail account. You can share files between accounts. I believe it's still possible to bring both accounts into a Microsoft 365 Family plan, which will increase the storage of your Outlook account; however, the storage can never be combined into a single volume.

    Hello,

    If you want to use the cloud storage attached to your M365 personal plan you need to use Onedrive through this link.

    https://onedrive.live.com/

    The login credentials will be the exact same as your Hotmail.

    You can use it through the web app or download and install it on your computer or mobile device.

    Hope this helps,

    JC
