Storage Plans
Why are there so few options for storage plans in OneDrive? Doesn't make Sense.. I can go with 50 GB or 1 TB (with Office and O365)... what if I need 200 GB? In Azure it is super easy to pick exactly how much storage I want to purchase from you, why can't I do this in OneDrive? It is ridiculous for you to think if I need more than 50 GB I'm going to buy a whole O365 subscription and get 1 TB of storage??!? Cheap ploy to try to get O365 subscribers.
Let us have a slider or…

NTFS-like permissions on Shares (Full Control, Modify: Delete/Rename/Create, Read-Only)
Please provide Windows NTFS-like permissions on shared items, including: Full Control, Modify (Edit, Delete, Create), Read-Only.
Currently, users can only Create or Delete items in a share, but are unable to rename. Only the owner can.
Owner should be able to specify who can:
- Make permission changes
- Delete files
- Create files
- Delete files
- Whether user can ONLY make modifications on his/her own files/folders
- Whether user can make modifications on ANY file/folder in the share

Provide RSS/Notification on changes made to OneDrive or Share
I like what Dropbox provides for free: an RSS feed for:
- Changes made to your OneDrive
- Changes made to a specific share
This allows the owner to see what files/folders were deleted/renamed/created, by who, and when. As someone who collaborates a lot with colleagues, I'd like to know who's doing what to my share/project.

Hi, 1TB is just not enough......or please let me combine the family account each 1TB into 5TB for one account. I am the only child and my parents don't use computer. I don't have a need for 1TB each for 5 accounts. I need a 5TB for single account

custom view default
Allow users to set a custom view as the default view for OneDrive. If we can add meta data and create views, we just need to extend the option to set that particular one. It allows users to have it exactly their way using metadata instead of folders and saves a click or two (every time) they access OneDrive.

Allow root-level sharing of one's entire OneDrive.
I would love to be able to give my wife global access to my OneDrive account by sharing the root folder. Currently I can only share sub-folders.

Speed
My personal suggestion is that the app should be able to work in the background and also the app should be able to work a lot faster than it does even with fast broadband it seems to take for ever for photos to download I've been trying to download my photos now for three days and it's still only on 600 and something which is very slow but then I realised you'll be coffee at wasn't always open I think it should be able to work in the background as long as you're connected to the Internet or Wi-Fi

Fix synchronization problems, because I alway get a menssage "This Office file needs your attention"
I use OneDrive in just one compueter, but often I get a menssage saying that "This Office file needs your attention". It is very annoying because I need to open the file each time and I dont know why it is happening.

add folder encryption or additional password protection
a reason why I didn't use OneDrive was because of some of my data being too private (like accounting etc). for specific files and folders it would be great to have an extra level of protection via password or better, encryption. I could find any info about how our data is stored in the cloud, I guess if its not advertised, ms is storing plain files.

Bulk Upload Tool
Create a bulk upload tool (like the one Amazon has) to allow bulk uploading of large files and folders (with over 100,000 files and over 200Gb in size). These folders could be network shares as well. This will really allow us to easily bootstrap OneDrive with the data we need before the sync magic kicks in.

Show confirmation before deleting a large number of files/big amount of data
When syncing starts and a large number of files is about to be deleted, please have an option of presenting a confirmation dialog before deletions take place. This dialog should clearly mention something to the effect "if you proceed with syncing you are about to delete XX Gigabytes of files / YY number of files on either your local drive or on OneDrive".
This could be especially useful in various cases a user (made a mistake and) hasn't realized what would get changed after eg having stopped automatic syncing for a while, changed local syncing folders, etc.
The user could…
