I can not receive or send email because One drive is full. My one drive is full over 5GB but my email is only 2.6GB out of 15GB yet I cannot use my email. Why is it using my One drive quota for my email?

    You have to first turn off OneDrive on your device for it to stop saving everything. Then you have to go to OneDrive online. Sign in and just start deleting. If there is anything you want, save it to your device (laptop, desktop, etc.). You have to also clean out your email too. Go through your folders and get rid of everything you don't need. Empty the junk and trash folders too. Hope this helps.

    Yet another CON by a big company to make as much money as they can by ripping people off, pure greed.

    It's much more stupid.. so i've ordered ESD family plan for one year from my local online retailer as i always do as they're somehow cheaper than MS webpage.

    the key arrives to your email.

    guess what email i'm using - yup @live.com which is blocked as my onedrive is over limit when o365 is not paid.

    so now i'm downloading 140GB of stuff off of onedrive to get my key so i can upload everything again.

    i'm on 1/1 gbps symmetrical fiber and download speeds from MS is at 40-50 mbit

    and it dropped twice already. this will take me days..

    i mean come on microsoft - blockig email altogether? just block onedrive you ****.

    it is borderline scam that the one drive storage takes up email storage aswell.
