Bing explore rewards: OneDrive
This is marketing!Bing.com said:
You can subscribe to Bing rewards to get the offer and then unsubscribe from Bing rewards (I think ... this is the way it worked with the Picture Roll offer: Enable Picture Roll, get the storage, disable Picture Roll ).
You'll have to pay for the subscription to continue using the extra storage after the 2 year offer expires. It isn't clear how MS differentiates between storage space on OneDrive. You get, or did get, 15 GB on OneDrive when you sign up, MS offered an additional 15 Gb if you added Picture roll to OneDrive, and now they're offering 100 GB on OneDrive at no charge for 2 years if you sign up for Bing rewards.
Somewhere it states that you the space is separate form other OneDrive storage you might already have. The question is what storage is used and when. Does the original 15-30 GB have to be used first and then the 100 GB storage is used, or is it on a application basis.
I originally saw this offer when I installed OneNote (also free now), so I have to question how OneDrive allocates and uses storage. It only becomes an issue at the end of the offer - how do I protect my data ... do I have to offload it to local storage, then unsubscribe, then load it back up to OneDrive (if there is sufficient space).
The caveat is: if you take advantage of this offer, what do you do when the offer expires in two years?
If you don't use the space, you can simply unsubscribe
..... if you use the space you'll have to subscribe or protect your data somehow.
