I would imagine so considering I got an email advising "Your OneDrive 100 GB Standalone plan is becoming Microsoft 365 Basic on January 30, 2023."

Will be interesting to see whether free users will really be cut off??

Starting February 01, 2023, storage used across Microsoft 365 apps and services will include Outlook.com attachments and OneDrive data. This may reduce the amount of storage you have available to use with your OneDrive and impact your ability to send and receive emails in Outlook.com

I've got:
11.0 / 15.0 GB Outlook.com e-mail and attachments
20.0 / 20.0 GB OneDrive (from loyalty and camera reel bonus)

I'd better get deleting all those years of Geekzone forum notification e-mails as according to Outlook.com storage meter they are taking up more than 1 GB space (they are plain text no attachments so surely that's not right? 🤔)
