Microsoft 365 Family plan cuts cloud storage allocation to 2TB

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 9 Oct, 18:19 · Archive

Microsoft is reducing cloud storage included with Microsoft 365 Family subscriptions from 6TB to 2TB shared across all users.

Microsoft has cut the cloud storage available to Microsoft 365 Family and Premium subscribers from 6TB to 2TB. The storage is now shared among all family members, down from the previous arrangement where each of the six possible members received 1TB individually. This means each user now has access to roughly 330GB, a reduction of about two-thirds from their previous allocation.

The change takes effect for new subscribers now and for existing customers when their subscriptions renew from 2 May 2027. Users seeking to retain 5TB of storage can upgrade to the Microsoft 365 Pro plan, which costs $99 (£95) per month—over seven times more expensive than the Family subscription.
