Microsoft Outlook Storage Message - reducing from 15GB to 5GB

Hi, starting today a pink bar at the top of my outlook page stating 'From February 1st, you'll need more storage to send or receive emails.' then provides 2 links to 'Manage Storage' & 'Get More Storage'. There is a second window bottom left hand side stating in red font 'Microsoft Storage' '14.6GB used of 5GB (292%)' 'Get More Storage'. What is going on? I've had this account for 10 + years.

    Hi

    Your answer is just what is written on-line by Microsoft.

    I have about 3gb of my one drive storage used with files, so that should leave 2GB for more files. I have 8GB of e-mails outr of my 15gb limit. The 2 questions are 1) Is Microsoft going to stop me from sending and receiving e-mails? or, 2) Is my remaining unused with files 2GB of One Drive storage going to be used by Outlook files and therfore I will not be able to save any more files to One Drive?

    Kind regards

    Neil

    Hope MS is reading these. Could be the worst marketing decision since "New Coke". Wake up MS, or Google will kick your ****
