Microsoft Reverses OneDrive Photo Limits Following User Backlash

Microsoft has reversed its decision to impose storage limits for photos in users' OneDrive accounts after facing significant backlash from customers. The company had planned to count photos in the OneDrive Gallery and saved photo albums separately towards the cloud-based limit of five gigabytes, which would have prevented additional files from syncing. However, due to the unexpected policy change, Microsoft has decided not to roll out the update, following feedback from users. This comes after Microsoft had already tightened its storage offerings, including a change in Outlook policy that forced attachments to count towards the OneDrive limit.
