OneDrive withdraws unlimited storage option

Daniel Morial Leave a comment

Attention OneDrive users. Changes are coming to the cloud storage service from Microsoft. Read on to know what’s new for 2016 and plan ahead of the changes.

As stated in a post over OneDrive’s blog, “a small number of users backed up numerous PCs and stored entire movie collections and DVR recordings. In some instances, this exceeded 75 TB per user or 14,000 times the average.”

Because of the reason given by OneDrive, they will no longer offer unlimited storage to Office 365 Home, Personal, or University subscribers. Instead, they will have 1TB to fill up. Paid plan for new users is now 50GB for $1.99/month. No more 100GB and 200GB plans available. For most who enjoys free storage for 15GB, sorry to break it to you, it will be limited to 5GB. Also, the extra 15GB camera roll storage will be discontinued. Expect the changes to be in effect early next year.

Now, what if you have files uploaded to the service that exceed the new allocations? If you are an Office 365 subscriber, OneDrive will notify you for storing excess bytes over 1TB and will be able to continue with the service for at least 12 months. If you are not happy with the changes, a pro-rated refund is available.

Free users, who are using more than 5GB of storage, can still access their files for at least 12 months from the effective date. Those already subscribed to the 100GB or 200GB plan will not be affected of the changes..

ReVault is a wireless and wearable hard drive

Kevin Bruce Francisco Leave a comment

More and more people are recently shifting towards cloud storage since it’s easier to access and always available as long as you’re connected to the Internet. Although with all the hacking and leaking these days it’s sometimes not as safe as when you’re keeping your files on a local storage. ReVault basically fuses both worlds and combines wireless transfer in a very portable form factor.

Yes, having a local storage that transfers via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi is nothing new, but what makes this storage stand out from its peers is its capability to be worn and be brought around anywhere you go. ReVault can use a strap to become a watch or a necklace to be worn around. It can also be kept inside a pocket thanks to its slim and compact physique.

As for security, the files are transferred wirelessly and encrypted using an AES-256 in addition to utilizing a two-factor authentication process. Those, plus the fact that file transfers are happening offline, make storing files more secure against hacks. The device itself is claimed to be durable since Corning’s Gorilla Glass 3 reinforces the surface of the display.

Here are some of ReVault’s additional features

  • Customizable faces
  • Three-day battery life; Charges in one and a half hours
  • ReVault as watch – available in stainless steel , mesh stainless steel, and black leather bands
  • 32GB and 128GB variants
  • API for future updates
  • Works with proprietary app for Android, iOS, Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux
  • Music and video streaming from within ReVault

The ReVault is up for crowdfunding at Indigogo with a target of US$65,000. The source reports that they’re already more than halfway there with a lot more time to spare. For pre-orders, the 32GB is at $169, while the 128GB variant asks for $269.
