Microsoft's Cloud Gets Cheaper

Cloud storage is becoming cheaper every day. Does anyone else remember the day when you would pay about 100 bucks for a 10MB disc drive! Things have changed so radically that in many cases, it becomes free. Microsoft announced that it will triple the amount of space on SkyDrive Pro and doubling the capacity of Exchange Online. Microsoft now exceeds free cloud storage from other options on the market.

According to ZDNet, the inbox of users Exchange Online and Office 365 will increase from 25 to 50 GB. The change will be slow, and will reach customers in the coming months. “There is a price increase associated with this change. Fold the mail is part of our promise to add value to our clients for Office 365" wrote Stephen Brown, marketing manager for the Exchange team.

There are different plans to use cloud services from Microsoft. Customers who are in the Exchange Online Plan 1, Office 365 Small Business, Enterprise E1, G1 Government and Education A1 should be seeing the change in the coming weeks.

The market for cloud storage is constantly changing. Recently, Box announced it will give away 10 GB while Google Apps offers 30 GB between Drive and Gmail. Companies that need a cloud solution have several options. And the more options, the better the solutions.

This is especially good news for organizations like the Borough of West Chester who are customers of Microsoft 365!
