Microsoft's Angus Logan, the Group Product Marketing Manager for OneDrive, told us that at some point today, the company will announce on the official OneDrive Twitter account the start of the 100GB. After it begins, the first 100,000 people who sign onto their OneDrive account will get 100GB of extra storage space for one year.

That's on top of the 7GB of space Microsoft normally offers and also on top of the extra free space that users can earn if they use the photo storage feature and get their friends to use OneDrive.

The nice thing about OneDrive (formerly SkyDrive) is that it includes online Office document editing, no need to buy Microsoft Office. They also have a referral scheme now, so if it's OK with the Mods ... hit me up?

It's 100GB for one year, how much after that? What happens my files if I don't renew?

Generally they take the 100GB back off you again. Your files will be left intact, but you won't be able to upload anything else until you go back under your limit.

Gone already for anyone trying to get it.

I missed out on the 100 gig myself even though I logged in very close to the time. I am upto 30 gigs free myself, but hoping to get to 33 gigs.

If some people can log in using my link above we both should get 500 meg free each.
