Like most parents, the amount of digital photos I tookexplodedwhen my daughter was born.

Googles emails became more alarming as I reached my storage quota.

The most obvious step was to increase my Google Drive storage amount.

However, I was already paying $2.99 per month for 200GB.

As a new parent, I needed to watch my outgoings.

So, I decided to shop about and it didnt end well for Google.

This wasMicrosofts cloud storage solution, and in classic Microsoft style, it had been pushing ithardinWindows 11.

To an almost obnoxious extent.

Along with 1TB of storage, it also includes licenses for Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint.

Even if your PC completely breaks, your documents will be accessible via the internet from another machine.

So far, the 1TB of storage space has been more than enough for all my photos.

I haven’t felt the need (nor been bugged) to upgrade my storage.

In fact, I now use OneDrive for storing music projects Ive created in Ableton Live.

Yep, theres a OneDrive app for Macs, and it integrates quite nicely into macOS.

Its also helped when reviewing new Windows 11 devices.

Perhaps if Microsoft hadnt been so pushy about me trying it, Id have given it a go sooner.
