Provide more than 1TB storage...PLEASE!
1TB is not what it was. 4k videos and SLR photos will fill that up surprisingly quickly.
I'd like to increase my OneDrive storage by more than 1TB (e.g., 2TB). But, you don't offer paid service for more than 1.05TB?! And the Azure path is too difficult. This is forcing me to look at other non-Microsoft solutions like Odrive. Why would you push me in that direction when I'd rather stay?

As we announced last week, we will be rolling out an option to upgrade your 1TB O365 plan in 200GB blocks. See this blog post for more details.

I agree with what others here have reported...
similar to Sharepoint sites where you can reallocate storage, why is there not an option to reallocate OneDrive storage from users on the tenant.
1 user is given 500gb and the rest is held back in available bank to distribute when needed.

Use Amazon Photos. If you are a prime member, you get unlimited storage for full resolution photos. Video eats up space as do documents (PDFs, etc). I was surprised to find that my zip and rar files of jpgs do not eat up space. So I no longer sync my comics with OneDrive.

The deal is not good. My contract expires in a few days and I am not renewing it.

For the price most of us are paying, they could include at least 5TB, then charge more if you need it, this 1TB and now only an option let us buy up to 1 more is ridiculous.

Too little, too late, too expensive! I just cancelled the auto renewal of my plan and I will stop using the paid version of OneDrive before the end of this month. 😟

Thanks Ryan for the update. Really looking forward to this feature. May I ask why is there a cap at +1TB?
It is for sure not technical limit because OneDrive for Business can go to 5TB, 25TB or even further.

Will move to a different service that can provide more space. 1 TB is not enough if you do photo/video work.

I am likely not renewing my subscription either, I just had to erase 300 GB worth of videos from the cloud and keep them somewhere else, the entire point of OneDrive was having real time backup of the most important files everywhere. They should have grown our space considerably (1 TB/year sounds quite reasonable for nowadays) with each renovation as an incentive to keep our accounts. They can always kick out people who misuse the system in any form.

While you "think about it", I decided to cancel my 5 years old subscription. I simply cannot wait for you to decide on the matter. I have deleted too many files.

The storage space is the one and only reason why I'm using Google DIsk for the time beeing. And since I'm already on that service, I also use their "office" solution, even though I like MS Office alot more by far.

1TB is not enough to hold Professional Designs and Photos, I like to have these files in one place, not split about the internet into 1TB Cloud Partitions! I need a minimum of 2TB. My current 2TB hard drive is running out of space and would like it backed up to the cloud - in one place with room to grow maybe 3TBs or more. Please give your paying customers options other than being stuck to 1TB. — On a side note I am raising a Family and that plan does work for me, it just needs more space.

Google Drive, Dropbox & iCloud have all upgraded their regular 1TB accounts to 2TB at no additional charge to their customers. OneDrive is seriously lagging behind the trend here.
Let's not forget that a while back Microsoft announced unlimited storage for Office 365 users. I can understand wanting to restrict the obscene data hogs, but 1TB is just not good enough in 2019 with 4K video content being so prevalent.
If Microsoft wants to be a trendsetter and not just lag behind the cloud storage competition by a year or more, the 1TB allowance should change to 5TB in my opinion. Time is marching on and file sizes are only going to increase as cameras and cellphones capture higher fidelity content. So why go with 2TB when 5TB looks so much better against the competition and postpones the next conversation about storage limits for a much longer period.

After filling all my space from one drive and discovering I can't have more than 1TB, I really prefer to move to another service.
OneDrive not only stops working all the time, but it's also slow, confusing and now it can't offer more than just 1TB per user.
I expected more.

Same here.. 1 TB isn't enough to put our family videos there.

I have the same problem and I don't want to lose the seamless integration I have with my operating system. 1 TB is just not enough when we have video, game saves, several years of digitized documents etc.

I am using the 6TB option that requires 6 O365 accounts. It is a horribly user-unfriendly solution. Have your Product Managers actually tried to manage and consolidate 6TB across 6 accounts? For a family photo/video collection for example, that does not make any sense. Please give me the option to pay money to consolidate 6 TB (or more) under a single account. Do you realize how much photo and video footage a family accumulates in a generation? Very disappointing.
