The cloud storage war just got a whole lot interesting! Microsoft is now offering free OneDrive storage to customers, a full 100 GB of space, as long as they have a Dropbox account.
Pretty neat way to target a close competitor.
Although this free capacity is only valid for one year, chances are that the company will renew this promotion in some way or form. Even if it doesn’t, this is a hefty 100 GB of free online storage for one year. And the offer only takes a few mouse clicks to redeem.
All you need to do is verify that you have a Dropbox account — which can be done by saving a document to the service. Takes only 10 seconds.
Microsoft and Dropbox have closely worked together these past few months in order to improve integration in the Office suite of productivity applications, but Redmond would still prefer customers to choose its cloud storage solution over the competitor.
It helps with brand loyalty, and ties users into the ecosystem.
Plus, considering the fact that OneDrive is an integral part of Windows 10 (on desktop and mobile), an offer like this will help acquaint new users to the cloud hosting service.
Anyway, if you have a Dropbox account then great, sign up for this promotion. If not, simply create a free one over there, and avail this offer.
