The costs associated with it are sometimes more of a daunting prospect to users. So today let&#8217;s look at ways in which you can add up more storage space to your <b>OneDrive<\/b> account without actually having to pay any extra bucks.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2><b>What is OneDrive?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><b>OneDrive<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is the flagship cloud service solution offered by <\/span><b>Microsoft<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. It comes pre-installed with <\/span><b>Windows 10<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, whereas users of other operating systems can easily download and install it. <\/span><b>OneDrive<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> provides <\/span><b>5GB<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of free disk space to its users, and there are paid plans that offer as much as <\/span><b>1TB<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (for individuals) and <\/span><b>5TB<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (bundled offer for 5 users). It is user-friendly and secure for laptop, tablet computers as well as smartphones.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The default <\/span><b>5GB<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of disk space can be topped up by as much as <\/span><b>10GB<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (total of <\/span><b>20<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> invites) if you invite your friends to <\/span><b>OneDrive<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and they sign up for the service. This means that you (and your friend) both stand to get <\/span><b>500MB<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for every successful invite.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_54\" class=\"thumbnail wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"width: 310px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-54\" src=\"http:\/\/pictureecho.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/image1-300x254.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"254\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pictureecho.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/image1-300x254.png 300w, https:\/\/pictureecho.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/image1-80x68.png 80w, https:\/\/pictureecho.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/image1.png 597w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption class=\"caption wp-caption-text\"><strong>Inviting friends to OneDrive<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><b>Other Methods<\/b><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><b><b>Referral Programs<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This neat feature offered by <\/span>Microsoft OneDrive<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> results in a gain of a handsome amount of storage space for the user. For example, <\/span>Microsoft<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> started giving <\/span>1TB<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of space to the users when <\/span>Office 365<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> was rolled out.<\/span><\/b><\/b><\/li>\n<li><strong>Clean Junk\/ Duplicates Off Your OneDrive<\/strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The single most important trick, in this case, is to clean up all the junk and duplicate files from your <\/span><strong>OneDrive<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> account. As junk or duplicate data on your computer gets synced to your <\/span><strong>OneDrive<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> account, it starts eating up valuable storage space for no good. Therefore, you should use <\/span><strong>Clone Files Checker<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to do the needful. Once you&#8217;ve installed the program (from the setup file downloaded via the link in the last line), launch it and open up the <\/span><strong>Cloud Scan<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> tab. Select <\/span><strong>OneDrive<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and login after entering your credentials. Select all folders which you wish to scan and set the scan in motion. Once the scan is over, it&#8217;s simple enough to either delete the unwanted ones (junk or duplicates) or move them to a folder.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Watch out for more bonuses<br \/>\n<\/b><b>Microsoft<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> provides free storage to the users in the shape of bonuses from time to time. So stay on the lookout for more storage bonuses and you will hopefully gather enough storage capacity over time to meet your needs.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Important News for OneDrive Users: Now you can scan your OneDrive on web and remove duplicate files to free up space.
