Microsoft has reduced OneDrive storage for Microsoft 365 Family and Premium subscriptions from 6 TB to 2 TB. Previously, each of the six family members received 1 TB individually, but now the 2 TB is shared among all users. Microsoft explains that the shared storage applies to the entire subscription, meaning capacity isn't fixed per person and may affect others if large files are stored.
Personal files remain private by default. Additional OneDrive purchases add to the shared pool, potentially limiting others' access. The transition to shared storage begins after the first renewal following May 2, 2027, with advance notifications for affected customers.
Switching plans before renewal may accelerate the change.
