The fact that 365 subscribers get current versions of all Office apps in addition to OneDrive should only sweeten the deal. For the same amount, Microsoft's Office 365 Home offers 1 TB each for up to five users - a much better deal if you're looking to maximize capacity.

Dropbox charges $9.99 per month for only 100 GB, for example. At such a low price, the storage alone would be competitive. The 1 TB storage allotment applies to all consumer packages, even Office 365 Personal, which costs only $6.99 per month. The new OneDrive plans could help Microsoft push Office 365 subscriptions. When it launches this year, iCloud Drive will offer 20 GB for $0.99 monthly and a OneDrive-matching 200 GB for $3.99 per month. Dropbox appears to be falling behind on pure price competitiveness, offering only 100 GB for $9.99 per month and charging a steep $49.99 monthly for 500 GB. For paid plans, Google charges $1.99 per month for 100 GB and $9.99 monthly for 1 TB.
