Microsoft Offers 30GB of Free OneDrive Storage Space for Photo Backups

Microsoft is offering users who backup their photos to OneDrive the opportunity to double their free online storage for a limited time. From now until the end of September, users can claim 30GB of space for saving twice as many photos in the cloud. Microsoft is marketing the offer at iPhone users who are upgrading to iOS 8 or purchasing a new iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus, but the extra space can be claimed by Android and Windows Phone users, too.

Just remember that you must sign up and activate automatic photo backups before the end of September, otherwise you’re going to miss out on the 15GB bonus.

You’ll find the camera backup option in the Settings section of the OneDrive app, or by heading to Charms Bar > Settings > Change PC Settings > OneDrive

You can create a new separate account for each device. You can also turn off the camera backup an hour after all your photos have been uploaded and still keep the 30GB of space. Then just delete the photos and use the space for other things if you like. Having a Microsoft account also allows you to use Office Online applications. On the webpage just click the down arrow on the upper left hand corner then select Word, Excel, Powerpoint and OneNote.

Signup or use your existing Microsoft account and get the app below.
