Way back when it was SkyDrive, for some reason I was given some huge (for the time) amount of space "for life". Can't remember why. For being a Windows dev maybe? Idk.
Some years later, I did an Office sub for a couple years, which also came with OneDrive space. When I let the Office sub expire, the fuckers took away my lifetime space. Cunts.
If I remember correctly skydrive had unlimited storage with a paid plan at first. but ofc some guys uploaded terabytes of data so they eventually got rid of the unlimited plan.
What did they expect? Unlimited storage = I'm going to use it
A classic case of having their cake (the marketing benefits of offering unlimited storage) and eating it too (not wanting anyone to use any storage)
The amount of people that actually use a huge amount is pretty small, which is why Backblaze can still offer unlimited storage to this day
With backblaze the price increases as you store more.
Only with the business plans. The personal plan has unlimited storage for a flat price
This?
Yes
Same happened with Google Drive
Probably just an automated system, they’d have probably given it back if you said something.
Often saying something can be a huge hassle, so if they didn’t it’s completely understandable. Especially true if their time is worth more than the subscription.
