Additional Storage:
Those looking to expand the storage size can add 500 MB per referral with
a cap of 5GB.

Paid Subscription Plans:
For additional storage space, users can pay $2 per month for 65 GB, $4 per

month for 200 GB and $7 per month for 1 TB of storage. With the 1 TB
plan, users get free access to Office 365 Personal as well.
For obvious reasons, those heavily using the Microsoft Office Personal and
Windows OS, OneDrive deliver greater value in every sense of the word.
However, users who have moved away from MS Office may not find it a
very attractive option.

Apple iCloud Drive

Those using an Apple device can make good use of iCloud Drive with its
free 5 GB of storage space and it works just as well with Windows as it
does with iOS and OS X devices. However, there is no app for using iCloud
Drive on Windows phone or Android and Blackberry, thus limiting the
access to mostly within the Apple ecosystem of platforms and devices, of
course, with the exception of Windows PC.
If you use an iPhone, an iPad or a Mac, then it is a valuable addition for
sure. Those looking for a complete office suite, iCloud’s integration with
iWorks would do well enough. iWork’s is a beginner’s office suite
developed by the Apple. It helps create something parallel to what Google
has achieved with its complete cloud-based office with seamless
integration of Google Drive and Google Docs. However, with mobility
being the new trend, the limited access to the iCloud drive from only Apple
devices is not serving it well enough.
