Microsoft is allowing users to keep some of the Storage space it is planning to cut. Microsoft had earlier announced that it will cut its free Cloud Storage from 15GB to 5GB. Microsoft had also announced that it will do away with the 15GB of free storage that it gave away to users as Camera Roll Bonus.

This lead to lot of disagreement among Microsoft fans who requested Microsoft to not take the decision of doing away with free Cloud Storage. The Cloud Storage space is today dominated by players like Google, Dropbox and others who give away free Cloud Storage to its users.
