Microsoft cuts shared OneDrive storage in Microsoft 365 Family and Premium plans to 2 TB, introducing shared AI credits

1 fonte(s) · 1 atualização(ões) · publicado 08/10/2026 15:56 · coletado há 1 dia

Microsoft announced changes to its Microsoft 365 Personal, Family, Premium and Pro subscriptions, replacing per-member 1 TB OneDrive allowances with a single shared storage pool and shared AI usage credits. Family and Premium plans drop from up to 6 TB of total storage to 2 TB, and the new Microsoft 365 Pro plan offers 5 TB at about $100 per month. Subscribers above 2 TB will need to reduce usage or pay roughly $10 per month for each additional 1 TB, so some bills could double or triple. The article does not describe a security incident, vulnerability or threat activity; it is consumer pricing and product news with no direct defensive impact.

Technical Details

  • New and upgraded subscriptions get shared storage from Oct. 8, 2026.
  • Existing subscribers move to shared storage at their first renewal on or after May 2, 2027, and will be notified in advance.
  • Each member's accounts and files remain private, but their usage counts against the shared pool.
  • Copilot usage credits become shareable among family members, and the owner can manage AI access for younger members. Premium and Pro subscribers can buy additional AI credits.
  • The article suggests the change targets users who exploit secondary free accounts to build large personal data stores, and aligns Microsoft with Google One and Apple iCloud+ shared-storage offerings.

Remediation

No security remediation applies. Households using more than 2 TB across accounts should review OneDrive usage before their renewal date.
