it’s a recurring charge though isn’t it ? so you took advantage at the outset.
How much will the year after and so on be ?
Yes, it is a recurring charge. One license gives you one year and you an add upto 5 or 6 licenses at once so you can buy 5 or 6 licenses together then when there is max discount and get it for about 600-800/ year per person.

So you get it on offer at Rs.600. When a year is up do you still renew at the introductory price or does it increase
My question is whether you pay the same amount after the first year ?
Each user has his / her quota of 1 TB each and others cannot see your files. I think its the best option available at the moment. Would have settled for 200 gigs on google too if their price was little easy.
Its been 600 for the last 2 years. Earlier it used to be 480 or something.
Still won’t be ₹600/year for an individual
Family pack is ₹6,199/year on Microsoft.
From amazon it is ₹5199 lowest so ₹866 per person which still is not reasonble as I can’t see my family/friends using 1 combined in an year let alone 1tb each.
If you go with google cloud you get 2tb at somewhat same pricing as Microsofts site.
Lol that will be quite sad. Just hope they will inform one month before shutting their servers down.
What storage method do you use for these
And then everyone is in a mad scramble to download their stuff. If they even manage to get it all back.
Traditional HDDS since decades.. 3x cloned copies maintained regularly. Now even sourced a 4th external hdd backup media.

I think that would make sense. Having 3 copies will ensure a safety net. Will be cost effective too over the long run
That was a joke. I have backup in a portable hdd. The plan is that if the cloud goes out of service first I will replace the cloud. If the hdd goes bad first I will replace that. If both go bad at once, goodbye memories though. Despite being a govt Collab, I like digiboxx for the prices. If you don’t use any other backup, it’s better to stick to one of the bigger players indeed.
I have family/personal videos youtube since last 2 years.
All are in Private mode..
Enjoy this with family on TV as and when required.. no access to anyone else.
More then GBs of data.
Also have onedrive 1 TB subscription (for various requirements) so uploaded there as well.

It is sold as individual license and recurring payment both so you can buy upto 5 or 6 licenses max at once and renew when the price is low again so you can keep paying reduced price every year. Even at full price it is about 1k per year. Apple and Google are 9k and 6.5k per year respectively.
200-300 RS extra per year doesn’t even count. Also, discount keeps on changing so some also got it for 500 a year. Already said that it is somewhere between 600-800. I know it is not reasonable for some that is why we have 15 GB free google storage.
Google cloud 2 TB is 541 **per MONTH **for a single user
One drive 1 TB after sharing is 600-800 per YEAR for a single user.
One drive is 1 TB per member and each member has 5 devices.
Total devices for each member= 5.
Total capacity shared among 5 devices of one member= 1 TB.
Total overall capacity= 6 TB.
Total overall devices = 30.
Each member has his own personal account and others including admin cannot access their account. You also get MS office apps for all your devices.

That’s quite a difference. 6.5x & 9x 
The offline prices for the Office 365 packs were much lower even a year ago (less than 4k I think). The prices were increased with the Microsoft 365 rebranding but I presume some offline sellers still sell it for less than the Amazon price.
I had set it up with fellow members here and it was between 500-550 per person per year for 5 years.

If you find any such offline packs then do let me know.
i would disagree, google photos is a pain - all it does is store photos from android phones. its not a sync feature, more of an upload to google photos feature, when you want to lets say download to a pc/ non android device, you dont have sync options and its manual downloads of individual photos.
super retarded.
also, photos is separated from drive years back and is a pain in the @#$.
