Microsoft's SkyDrive in many ways has surpassed it's cloud storage competitors during the past year. Other then the ridiculous requirement of Microsoft to change the name of their cloud storage service, it has been a great year for SkyDrive. Earlier in May, it hit the 250 million customer mark, which is very impressive.
Things got even better in Microsoft's cloud this week, when it was announced that anyone who buys a Surface 2 or Surface Pro 2 will get 200GB of SkyDrive storage for two years. That 200GB option has been extended to everyone with a new pricing tier on SkyDrive.
SkyDrive already comes with 7GB of free storage, which is 5GB more then Dropbox. If 7GB is not enough for you, you can pay a yearly subscription fee to add more storage. Another great advantage for SkyDrive is that it is connected to your Microsoft accounts and comes in various increments.
There is a new option of an extra 200GB for $100 per year. According to Microsoft, that’s enough storage to take a photo, every hour, from the moment someone is born to the day they graduate.
Here’s the new breakdown.
- 20GB - $10 / year
- 50GB - $25 / year
- 100GB - $50 / year
- 200GB - $100 / year
