Microsoft originally offered this deal for September only, then extended to end of October. Seems they've activated the deal again as I've just tested on 2 accounts and works perfectly. Everyone gets 15GB free, but download the free iOS or Android apps, log into the app and you'll be asked if you wish to turn on camera backup. Choose 'turn on' and you'll automatically get an extra 15GB free.

You can check your storage on a desktop PC by clicking here, or via settings in the apps. If all went well, you should now have 30GB of free storage. Please note you can immediately turn off camera backup and you keep the storage. Not sure how long this offer will last this time around, so good luck!

Original deal posted by chonghe is here.

Simple Steps:

  • Clicking here should show 15GB (unless extra claimed previously)
  • Download iOS or Android app
  • Log into app on mobile device
  • Turn Camera Roll 'ON' in the app
  • Click here again. Should now see 30GB storage
  • If you wish, turn Camera Roll 'OFF' and storage remains at 30GB

    Wow, generous. All those gigs.
    Did i mention google gave me 1tb for free?

    • [Deactivated] on 25/11/2014 - 20:57

      I don't believe you.

    • Diji1 on 25/11/2014 - 20:58

      I might be mistaken but I believe that is only for users of Google's other products (meaning Chrome OS at least) and furthermore it is not free but rather free for 2 years only and then converts to a paid account or you lose it.

      Although if I am wrong by all means say so.

        As sarcastic as his comment is, he's referring to this.

      • Twinkletoes Terry on 25/11/2014 - 21:05

        Well after 2 years it might be still free. With cheaper prices and allotment getting better, the 1tb may just be the 100gig of today that,and by the way that cost less than a cup of coffee from google. Oh, one more thing - 15 gigs are free.

        Actually you possibly can't - anything with nudity or adult content violates MS T&Cs

    • iNeedMoreMoney on 26/11/2014 - 12:53

      So basically I'm happy that I got my free 30gb but there's not really much use with it… anybody?…

      • ozy on 27/11/2014 - 08:41

        -OS restore point backup storage.
        -Share music, tv or movies with friends and family.
        -Backup photos when abroad from sd cards etc.
        -copy of software iso's so a computer can be reinstalled without local media.
        The list is endless…

      You must have previously claimed some referral bonuses as well :)

      • PVA on 25/11/2014 - 21:11

        mine was already at 25gig, no referrals but 10gig loyalty bonus.

          I think 25GB was the original offering by MS when they first released SkyDrive. You're one of the lucky ones.

          @tightarse:
          yeah, way back with skydrive just had to log in by some date years back and got an extra 10gig.

        • narz on 26/11/2014 - 01:10

          Same here! I'm up to 40GB now :)

  • mick123 on 25/11/2014 - 21:09

    so if I already got the 15GB camera roll bonus before, I guess I cant get it again. Did the steps but stayed at 30GB total

    • tightarse on 25/11/2014 - 21:10

      Correct. 30GB max, unless you have previous referral bonuses.

  • ShootingStar3388 on 25/11/2014 - 21:37

    Thanks OP, it worked.

  • bwolf77 on 25/11/2014 - 21:46

    i didnt even need to turn the camera backup on, just logged in again and it said 30GB avail.

  • dorian_gray on 25/11/2014 - 22:16

    Did not work here

    • dorian_gray on 25/11/2014 - 22:18

      Tried uninstalling the app (I have been using it for quite a while) and reinstalling it. Now I have 30 gig.

  • zeckem on 25/11/2014 - 22:25

    Thanks TA! Perfect

  • blueonion on 25/11/2014 - 22:29

    FYI guys, be careful….Onedrive have a "number of files" limit.

    Recently hit the wall when it stopped synching after 20,000 files which only totaled around 700mb (website / app backups)

    Found out the hard way…. now sticking with DropBox because they have 300,000 limit.

    • TheContact on 25/11/2014 - 23:42

      Looks like that is a OneDrive for Business limit. Is that what you're using?

      http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/onedrive/forum/sdfiles/ma…

      2 other users are claiming they have 49k and 63k files synced.

    • Ozbm on 26/11/2014 - 16:21

      This is not correct. The issue is with onedrive for business which is based off sharepoint which has its limits (the version you get with an office 365 subscription).

      The consumer version of OneDrive works off a different system and has no limits.

  • Mister Plod on 25/11/2014 - 22:55

  • Ms106 on 26/11/2014 - 00:33

    For those who has 15gb and it's showing "Turn Camera Roll ON" for Extra 3GB. it's because you're using Mobile Data (or that you already have surpassed max 30GB), once you have WiFi enabled, the 15GB will then automatically be applied.

    to check inside the app incase the website isn't updating properly > (android): goto the menu button (3 dots) in the bottom right hand corner > then Settings > Tap on "Personal <email>" and it'll show the updated 15GB extra. then turn off Camera Roll.

    • Its4me on 26/11/2014 - 12:32

      I don't seem to be having much luck with this.

      I created a new live.com account (does this matter?) from a PC and got the 15Gb free.

      Installed the app on an Android 4.1.2 phone, was offered 3Gb for turning on camera roll (when using WiFi), received nothing - checked via app and PC. Uninstalled then reinstalled app. Signed out and in on the PC. Nothing.

      I then installed the app on an Android 4.4.4 tablet, offered 3Gb for turning on camera roll, received nothing.

      I didn't have any photos on either device (does this matter?); I dropped a jpeg into the Pictures folder, created a DCIM/Camera folder and dropped a jpeg in there too, all to no avail. I can, however see the image I dropped when I log in on the PC.

      Does anyone have a link where this Camera roll bonus is described? I click on the 'Learn More' button in the Camera roll bonus section under storage, but I did not learn any more.

      • mutardo on 26/11/2014 - 12:51

        Same issue for me.

        • Its4me on 26/11/2014 - 13:31

          Has it expired?

      • jaybmate on 26/11/2014 - 13:28

        No photos probably does matter. I had this happen, but didnt turn on wifi. you need to turn on wifi and let it begin syncing before you get it. you can turn it off sync straight after.

        Its uploading the camera roll, so just take a picture with the phones camera. would probably be easier than pasting jpegs in there anyway.

        • Its4me on 26/11/2014 - 13:37

          Well, the jpeg I dropped in the DCIM/Camera folder appears, and in the app when I go to the Photos section I see it and it says Camera Backup up-to-date. But still no bonus data.

        • zeckem on 26/11/2014 - 23:01

          @Its4me: That's weird, I had the same problem until I enabled WiFi then in the bottom right hand corner (options button) you Refresh, or you swipe down or something. And then after 30 seconds you should see the updated bonus data 15gb

  • netizen on 26/11/2014 - 00:53

      proceed with the app, then go into settings and you will see storage:30GB available!

  • HeDanny on 26/11/2014 - 06:40

    My account is showing the bonus 15gb Camera Roll. I must have got this from the $40 Lumia 540 offer. This was when that offer was available, may not still be available to windows phones, but worth a try if you, like me, currently do not have iOS or Android.

  • bylife on 26/11/2014 - 09:19

        no..thanks..

        but in the end would you prefer dropbox or one drive

        btw according to edward snowden

        don't use dropbox since I think he said is not encrypted or something like that..

        just google it..

  • Twisty on 26/11/2014 - 11:06
