I hope this is the right forum...

I have used MS WL Skydrive for a few years. I like the 25GB free on-line storage.
All you need(ed) to register was a Hotmail or Windows Live account.

HOWEVER, this freebie is now changing to only 7GB, and you will have to pay for any extra.

"Loyal users" can maintain the free 25GB if they act soon. I did, and it seems to have worked.
Am.

Anyone else get this when accepting the agreement?

There's a temporary problem with the service. Please try again. If you continue to get this message, try again later.

I signed up for this a long time ago but haven't used it very often. What do I need to do to maintain the free 25GB?


Replacing my Canon 7D, Tokina 12-24mm, Canon 17-55mm, Sigma 30mm f/1.4, 85mm f/1.4, and 150-500mm with a Panasonic Lumix FZ1000. I still have the 17-55 and the 30 available for sale.

Just log in and it will give you a notice. Say yes and you've secured the storage.

My new account has 25 GB, while my very old one, one where I found out that I hadn't even accepted the SkyDrive agreement, only got 7 GB.

Thanks to the OP. I was able to do this today. However, the Skydrive app is not compatible with Windows XP3. SDExplorer is an adequate 3rd party app for managing files on Skydrive.
